Hi chemist,
So far in the way of side effects, it hasn't been bad. There's been some sedation and stomach aches, but it's gone away for the most part. I still ahve some light brain "snaps" from switching the two SSRIS but I'll probably have them awhile, who knows. Luvox seems to be a med I can tolerate more than the Lexapro. I had also gained about 5 lbs on the Lexapro and that is starting to come off. I think Luvox is a more weight neutral med.
> hey chris, glad to hear that the luvox is working: can you report any side effects? that would be useful, as there have been a few posts that indicate that a few folks are looking into trying luvox, and if you could give a little shout about how it's working and what the nature of any side effects are, that would be great...i am curious on a personal level, as i have found it to be a pretty ``clean'' drug in that regard, but we are all different.....thanks much, all the best, chemist

I expereinced the same problem with LExapro... it didn't really "poop out" per say, however it jsut didn't seem effective enough. So far I'e had some results with Luvox at just the 100 MG dose, and that is pleasing. Best of luck.. perhaps add in an AP or Mood stabilizer too.
