I am trying the generic (have to pay cash). The pdoc wanted to give me 50mg tabs, but I asked for 100mg tabs. I have not gotten by with the lowest dose of any SSRI yet, and being undermedicated sucks. I am hopeful that I'll be able to deal with the side effects, because I've never had to discontinue a med before due to sedation. The "activating" SSRIs (Prozac and Zoloft) are the ones that give me trouble. Celexa is considered sedating and that's the one I had the most success with.
I'm sure you could get off Luvox, Phillipa. You might have to do a slow taper and substitute a different med.
> Still on luvox 50mg regular. Taken it about 11 years. At one time took 250mg and felt great but needed benzos also. Are you taking the time release or generic? Absolutely no side effects and waited for them. Can't stop the luvox tried once and didn't sleep for two weeks. And that doc added high doses of benzos. So I guess my brain likes it also. I also feel you will. Phillipa
