That's alright Phillipa. The equivalent in Valium would be ~60mg a day. You see how much difference there is between what you had been taking and how much you're taking now? So it's no wonder you were feeling so dizzy and spaced out when you went on the Ativan, and it's no wonder you're feeling so bad now you're coming off it so fast. The problem is that the Luvox inhibits the breakdown of Valium and complicates things even further. I'd come off that small dose if I were you and see if you can find another antidepressant. I've already given my vote for Lyrica because it boosts GABA and works for both anxiety and depression as well as being a mild mood stabilizer. Hope things improve soon.
