In reply to I'm having a really frightening reaction to Luvox, posted by Er on March 6, 2002, at 21:31:08
> Well, it finally got to the point where my instinct was screaming that something was not right...quick history, Monday night started Luvox, already on WB and Ritalin, Barely slept Monday night, in a haze all day Tuesday with shaky hands and stomach pains, Today shakes were so bad that my knees wobbled uncontrollably when going down a flight of stairs and almost got hurt. So an hour ago, with chattering teeth, bloodshot eyes and a walk like C3PO, instead of taking my evening dose, I called my Office and had Doctor Neuro-skillet paged. He called and said to stop taking it completely, that those were rare but serious side effects. I'm to call him tommorrow (if I don't chatter my teeth out of my skull while thrashing in bed all night again).

*************************************************Hi Eric. Yes, this sounds very frightening. If it keeps up, please go to the emergency room. The same thing happened to me two summers ago, when I was prescribed Luvox plus Dexedrine. I thought I was going beserk PLUS I had very high blood pressures, severe headache and very rapid heart rate. I also felt like a dazed robot. I'm usually a really careful driver, and when I tried that combo, I ALMOST drove straight into a lamp post that was on an island in the middle of a large boulevard. I didn't even see it until I almost hit it. Please be very careful! Let us know how you're doing tomorrow.
