Thank you Larry for laying it out so clearly!
I recently added 100 mg of Luvox to :
75 mg desipramine
5mg Abilify
30mg AdderallAnd within a day noticed orthostatic hypotension--knew the Luvox may be upping the desipramine; BUT also the next day felt very spacey and my tongue felt odd--sensations that I had had when I had once tried a higher Abilify dosage. So I suspected there must be an interaction RE Luvox and Abilify too. Thanks for the confirmation.
SO I am now going to try 2.5mg Abilify and 75mg desipramine and only 50mg Luvox--all three then will have lengthened half-lives. Figures the three drugs that seem logical for me should interact...
I wasnt sure if I can assume the Luvox itself will be raised in my system too...50mg is a pretty small dose, didn't know if I could even hope for benefit.Good news is that other than spaciness the combo seems to be doing good things!
