I would think that you can. But I don't know for sure.
> I've been on Luvox (50mgs) and Xanax (1mg) daily for 8 years for OCD.
>
> The Luvox hasn't been very effective anymore. OCD is back in full force. I also have gotten very sensitive to Luvox. When I tried to increase my dosage I felt horrible.
>
> So my doctor wants me to try Lexapro. He said it is up to me whether I stop taking Luvox now and start taking Lexapro (10mgs) right away or I can take Luvox at night and Lexapro in the morning.
>
> I took the Lexapro this morning and I do feel kind of jittery. I've been getting some sweats.
>
> Should I be able to just stop taking the Luvox and take the Lexapro in the morning without any withdrawal symptoms?

> Thanks!
