Mixing SSRIs is tricky, especially if Prozac is involved (due to it's long half life). Not sure about the liver cytochrome (and other) interactions between Luvox and Prozac.
I don't necessarily think it's a bad idea, though you should probably go slow and stay low.
FWIW I used Prozac (10 mg x3 week) to boost daily 20mg Lexapro and it worked really well.
