Hi
>I mean it is not as selective as amitriptyline is not as selective either
You can't really compare fluoxetine with amitriptyline. Amitriptyline hits a whole range of receptors eg. it's a potent anticholinergic agent, antihistamine, alpha-1 antagonist, 5-HT2 antagonist etc. Fluoxetine is completely different, having no affinity for most of these recepors.
>Luvox
As SSRIs go, Luvox is probably the least 'clean'. It increases melatonin levels during the daytime and disrupts the sleep-wake cycle.
