I've been on Luvox for almost a month and as so, far like it very much. I've tried over 20 different meds and so far this is the best, although I am cautiously optimistic as I, too, get the poop-out effect. Overall, this has been the best month for me in, jeez, in over a year. I have much less insomnia and constipation on this drug than some of the other ADs I've tried.
I asked for it 'cause of compulsive overeating. We pick our poison, I guess, or it picks us. I've noticed that when I do crash or overeat, I rebound better than I did before. When I found my overeating and depressive episodes creeping up again, I asked the Dr. to increase and am now on 200mg per day, taken at night.
I've noticed I'm more tired and workouts at gym and running are more difficult. Not sure yet if it's the meds, though, as I've only been on this dosage for few days. In the past, I'd ditch a drug if my athletic performance decreased. Not doin' that anymore, not now, not ever, well, for a long time. I'll do the best I can with the meds 'cause off of them I'm a wreck.
