I hate posting horror stories, so to be fair I feel compelled to add that my pdoc thought that the cause of that debacle could have been a too-rapid withdrawal of zoloft while phasing in the luvox, and another factor was some significant relationship problems that needed resolution, so it's not like the drug itself made me crumble. However, my reactions were defitely not on the scale of how I would normally react even totally unmedicated to life or relationship problems.
I went back on the Zoloft and I have to say, since I've been badmouthing those friends/foes the SSRI's, that to its credit I think my everyday anxiety and unproductive thought patterns were reduced enough that I was able to deal with the life situation and do what had to be done, which I might never have done without the zoloft therapy. So there; I've dissed Luvox and given zoloft some credit, but the major point remains that each one works a little differently for each person but whatever helps is what is important.
