In reply to long-term Luvox (fluvoxamine) users????, posted by jay on December 8, 2001, at 8:15:06
If your concern is weight, I'm rather sorry to tell you that I gained 60 lb on Luvox, all in the first year or so. I just lost the first 10 lb lately during two episodes of agitated depression, after being off Luvox for several months. But I must add that I made no effort whatsoever to keep my weight down, I just despised myself for being fat. I didn't exercise or watch my weight and I frankly used food for mood regulation. I wouldn't avoid Luvox just for that reason. The side effects were relatively mild, even for med sensitive me. I'm sure you would put more effort than I did into not gaining weight.
