Long story short. I've been on Luvox (50mgs) for 7 years and Xanax (8mgs) for 8 years.
I didn't feel great on 50 of Luvox, still some quirky things so my doctor decided to start trying me on different medications. I started taking Zoloft (25mgs) in the morning with the Luvox at night. Felt great for a week. Then he upped my Zoloft and decreased my Luvox. All hell broke loose. He then told me to take 75mgs of Luvox. I did for two weeks then he told me he wanted me to try Lexapro. So I took 10mgs of that in the morning and felt like hell. Finally he said to go back to 50mgs of Luvox for awhile.
I have been for over a week now and I don't feel like I used to on 50mgs. Everything feels like a dream. I have vivid dream and I don't sleep well. Throughout the day I am very anxious and dizzy. I also feel very depressed and I feel "hot" all the time. I don't feel like myself at all.
What happened? Why doesn't the 50mgs work anymore? Could I be withdrawaling from the 75mgs of Luvox that I took for 2 weeks? I just want to feel "normal" again.
