C.J.,
Do you by any chance work for Solvay??
Thank you for your enthusiastic endorsement of Luvox. My doctor also recommended it to me for my depression, but I'm guardedly optomistic about the Effexor.
My husband is too worried (probobly rightly so) about the time it would take to make the switch from Anafranil to Luvox. It would evidently involve no medication for a period of two weeks, followed by gradual increases in the Luvox. I still think it has contributed to his weight gain, and some sexual dysfunction. He is attempting to correct the problems, but will remain on the Anafranil.
I know what you mean by these medications/illnesses wreaking havoc upon one's marriage. Especially when both people are neurotic (is this term still used?). Oh well, we're working on it, and at least my husband is completely happy and without obsessive thought patterns, and has been for years with the Anafranil.
Now, me on the other hand.....whole different story.
Keep spreadin' the good news about Luvox, C.J.! : )
