> When it first came out last year I got up to 60mg with no side effects or any improvement in depression so I quit it. Now I tried it again with the exact opposite effect. My anxiety hit the ceiling I was sweating, pulse racing, head felt like it would explode. So I had to stop it after only aroung l0days. Why would it work so differently a year later. Fondly, Phillipa
My guess, Phillipa, and one that I think is probably very close to the mark, is that this time around you were expecting problems. You had talked yourself into having a bad reaction, and then you did. If you go back and reread some of your posts before starting it again, you were pretty positive that it would be a mistake, because "now you know how strong it is." Well, it was equally strong last year -- which doesn't mean much, since they're ALL strong drugs, when you get right down to it. "Med sensitive" isn't a bad thing, because if you weren't sensitive to the effects of drugs, then none of the drugs could do anything for you.
I hope you have better luck with Luvox, Phillipa. Good luck.
