Actually I was concerned about you and if you were making progress because you've been on the Luvox for a long time. Have you considered going back to an SSRI like Prozac which isn't that bad with regard to side-effects? It's quite possible it may not be your thyroid or lymes or your age to blame, just a matter of finding the right meds. Meds are known to sort of wane and wax, stop working, start working again, no side-effects then significant side-effects, especially if you stop one then switch to another then start again. Is you fear of meds based on phobia or just not liking how they make you feel? I want you to become more active in seeking out treatment - it's impossible for your pdoc to have a grasp of all the expertise and knowledge that are required to heal you. Could you describe specifically what you are suffering from? The anxiety you feel daily could have at its root in OCD. It's also possible that the benzos are making you tired after prolonged use, and if you come off the benzos a anti-depressant might start working for you

> Hyperfocus when luvox first came here about 12 years ago my old pdoc put me on 250mg of luvox and also high doses of ativan and chloral hydrate and the synthroid. I felt relaxed he felt too relaxed and celexa was new and wanted me in a trial I said no so he took me off it gave me celexa and same time lymes founds and felt horrible. So off the celexa after four weeks. could not handle high doses anymore why who knows took 12.5 and treatment for lymes and then changed pdocs she tried paxil and that was low dose then tried the luvox up to 200mg and for two weeks almost felt manic . Then it I guess pooped out and no longer could tolerate high doses and my fear of meds began. I was menopausal and any ad I took couldn't tolerate so ended on luvox. Anyway fast forward. Now could probably tolerate more than 50mg but too scared as even benzos now valium and xanax just make me tired. Maybe it's my age or thyroid I just know feel like dying and can't take anymore changes. Sorry for the negative post. I know your're very desperate. I don't know your history. Just up as can't wake up anymore. But give it a try? Love Phillipa
