> Heck I just had a pdoc prescribe it for me in the states and because of the liver things I went off it. So you're saying it's a good med? Love Phillipa figures I always screw everything up. And how high a dose did you take til depression eased up and anxiety too and sleep. Thanks so much. As the other pdoc said it's never too late to switch back if the luvox doesn't work.
Well, as one doctor said to me..if you go through a bottle or two of booze a day, yes there will be liver problems. He said the simplest thing to do would be regular blood tests like they do for Tegretol(sp?) I absolutely have no authority to say you should or shouldn't take the drug, but yes, your doctor can monitor you for problems if you decide to take it. It worked *wonders* for me in combo with Effexor XR. I slept well, and my sex drive was right back to normal. Now, here in Canada, you can't get the stuff anywhere, unless you live by the border, and get your doc to prescribe it. This drug also happens to work wonders in treating Autism and ASD's. I work part of my day with kids in an Autism program, and there are a couple of doctors here in town we refer families to who will prescribe it for people who go over the border. I believe it is that 5-HT2a receptor that is implicated in some of Autism's symptoms.
