In reply to Luvox withdrawal protocol?, posted by Dollie on April 5, 2001, at 20:18:58

> My pdoc has told me to withdraw "at my own schedule" from 150 mg. of luvox. I've been down to 100 mg for two weeks now, and am still feeling the effects, but so far it hasn't been too bad. I have read Peter Breggin's recommended schedule, but that seems so slow. Does anyone who is suceptible to "discontinuation syndrome" have any experience or recommendations? Thank you all.


James here....

Slow enough to avoid "discontinuation syndrome". This is very different for each person. If you start having problems then you are going too fast. If it were me I would reduse over 3 months as this is not a race that you "win" by finishing faster than others. You "win" by not having problems.
