You forgot one of the most important attributes of Luvox:
It behaves as a potent agonist at the sigma-σ1 receptor and has the highest affinity of any SSRI for doing so. Sertraline and Lexapro also hit this receptor.
> * fluvoxamine/Luvox: stronger affinity for 5HT3-receptor, which means more initial nausea but more eventual anti-anxiety and anti-OCD (at least in theory..); most sedating of the SSRIs.
