I will make this as brief as possible- thank goodness for your board- I have OCD and have been on Luvox for 4 years. I went off for 4 months last year and resumed my 150mg dose in January this year. Since May this year I have had incoordination of arms and hands, muscle twitching and jerking especially right foot, muscles feel heavy and tight, jaw aches when I chew, extreme fatigue(exhaustion), my arms feel like I worked out for 3 hours after I wash my hair, hyper reflexes, startle very easy, pins and needles periodically everywhere, numbness and tingling everywhere, burning sensations on various parts of my body, slowed mental proceses, slurred and slowed speech, trouble swallowing, difficulty walking poor balance and severely gross soaking night sweats, blurred vision at times, crawly sensations on my skin. All symptoms come and go from 10 minutes to hour. My tests are all normal except an ANA showed moderately positive semi histone quantitative, I have slightly elevated thyroid antibody, and a small venous anomaly on the left side of my brain. I am 31, female and healthy till this. Hx of asthma, easy brusing. I've had an MRI, CAT of all of my spine, lumbar puncture, lyme tests, syphillis tests, MS ruled out, parneoplastic cancer ruled out. My psych doc says it can't be luvox I'm on too small a dose. Any thoughts? I am seeing a different doc in 2 weeks. Please help- I'm so lost and frustrated. Thanks sooo much. Sorry about the novel.
