> Marsha, that is so wierd. On luvox I was having nightly mightmares. Haven't had them on the lexapro[same as celexa really]. But l2.5mg of luvox is really low. When I started it years ago they started me at 50mg and I had no reaction at all. And the next day l00mg up to 250mg. The first Ad I ever tolerated and felt relaxed from. But I was also at that time on ativan and chloral hydrate to sleep. And luvox potentiates a lot of other meds. So I would be inclined to think you might not be taking enough luvox. It's only approved for OCD in this country. Fondly, Phillipa
Hi Phillipa,
I've never been able to take more than a half or even a quarter dose of any AD. Side effects are too intense and they seemed to work okay at lower dosages. I think I am just ver sensitive to meds. I am glad to hear you tlerated it and were relaxed on it. Maybe I will be, too. I can go up to 50mg after a week and a half at 25 my pdoc says.
Didn't you try it again recetnly? What happened then?
Marsha
