I took Luvox for about 14 months for depression/anxiety. It worked well and the only side effect I noticed was of the sexual nature and mild compared to what I'd experienced on Zoloft. (I am female.) It is more expensive I think.
Seems to me you may as well give it a try.
Good luck.
KimPlease state all the drugs you've taken, at what doses and how you have responded to them (effects, side effects). I'll try to recommend a strategy.
