In reply to Paxil to Luvox, posted by Justherself54 on September 24, 2009, at 15:04:07
That's exactly the switch I made. Paxil at l0mg with xanax took three months and then worked. Then the pdoc decided to switch me to luvox. He gave me 50mg the first night. I was terrified of side effects and kept waiting for something. None not one. I was switched to ativan though as luvox potentiates the effects of xanax, valium also. You're correct about the coffee. But I drank tea. Next morning when he found out I did fine he raised the dose 50mg in am then 50mg at night. I was in the hospital then as thyroid TSH was up to 22 and anxiety sky high. When admitted they didn't know thyroid was off hence thought just anxiety. Thyroid was also adjusted. That's when found out hasimotos. Well from there the doc raised it 50mg a day up to 250mg and never a side effect. It worked well for three months didn't poop out was relaxed. Don't worry about apathy never had any felt really well. The rest of the story is history. Ask me privately but know the luvox was continuing to work very well. Good luck. Phillipa
