I know nothing about Luvox, other than its drug class. MAOi experts, as far as I know, think you can combine MAO-b inhibitors with SSRIs, at least cautiously.
Doctor might be wary of it, but it makes sense--EMSAM, at least at 6mg and below, effects dopamine almost exclusively. Luvox should effect mostly serotonin, right? They would -seem- to be safe together, and I know expert docs use all of the old tricyclics except clomipramine with the unselective MAOis.
Could try EMSAM alone first, so you know what its effects are alone, and then add the SSRI back in if you need it.
Good luck!
