In reply to Luvox for anxiety-social phobia? Input please, posted by theo on July 30, 2003, at 9:48:12
I once tried fluvoxamine maleate (Luvox) for my social phobia. I started at 50mg twice daily for two weeks, then moved up to 100mg twice daily. It was awful--it did absolutely nothing for me but make me emotionally numb, irritable, and sexually defunct. And the withdrawal... oh, the horror!! It was ten times worse than Paxil withdrawal, if that tells you anything, and it lasted twice as long. I'd personally advise staying as far away from this stuff as you can.
