Hi Theo, I didn't experience any major side effect but a little nervousness that may be dued (or may not) to sublying bipolar issues. I found the med working by day II but the reason I'm taking it is not depression. I have adhd-like syntoms that seem to improve with serotoninergic meds and ruminating thoughts which may be part of the ADHD or fall in the OCD spectrum. Anyway, Luvox didn't kill my libido, which is very good at the moment, but it lessens the pleasure I feel when I have sex. I am not thinking to give up for this reason because I guess it's the least thing that can happen with SSRIs in this department. I find also my self less interested in people and social relationships but this is a very common experience for me when I'm on serotonergic meds (and I hate it). If the nervous thing goes on my psychiatrist will put me on a very low dose of Depakote hoping that this won't damage my concentration issues. My ability to focus when I read is dramatically improved, so I'm quite satisfied of this med. The mood is good but is the kind of good mood I usually get from SSRI: fake and high at the same time. Hope this helps and let me know about you. Best wishes
