Yes, I didn't want to scare you or anyone for whom Luvox might be a life-saver, but (to quote Morrissey "I can smile about it now but at the time it was terrible") I was actually walking around freaking Disney World crying to my husband that I was going to leave him and then 2 minutes later changing my mind and changing it back every two minutes. Now, who cries at Disney World? Then I got that creeping panic-attack-coming-on feeling in the evening and couldn't eat. Then I fell asleep in the car in between waking up and crying and thinking (only thinking, mind you) about cutting my wrists, not because I'm self-destructive but because I felt I needed someone to see how miserable I was. Then I called the doc blubbering and moaning and she (smartly, of course) discontined the Luvox and I've never felt anywhere near that bad before or since, on or off any med, in my life.
Sorry; maybe I shouldn't scare people because Luvox apparently works great for many people. I'm just apparently not chemically similar to those people.
Then again, maybe that was part of the two-week adjustment period people are supposed to wait through? Not worth waiting through in my opinion. Never had problems like that on any of the other "big four" SSRIs, (Prozac, Zoloft, Paxil.)
