In reply to Luvox Withdrawl Side Effects, posted by Karley on January 15, 2002, at 9:42:36

Just be sure to do it slowly. I stopped all my medications at once, so it's hard to tell which withdrawal caused what symptoms. I tapered very slowly off the Luvox because it had the most obvious side effects. Basically, if you've ever forgotten to take a dose, you'll have a good idea of what it feels like. Dizziness, the feeling that your head is moving when it's not. In addition, I had some really odd symptoms perceptual distortions, extreme anxiety and agitation, unbelievable overstimulation, etc. But I'm guessing those might have been from stopping the Depakote and Klonopin, rather than the Luvox. I think if you read the threads on SSRI withdrawal symptoms, Luvox withdrawal should be similar.
Again, the most important thing is to taper slowly. I think it took me a couple of months.
Best wishes,
Dinah
