Here's my update for day #3 of Luvox:
I woke up super-early this morning and could not get back to sleep. I've been having early-morning awakenings a lot recently, but I think it has more to do with my deteriorating mental condition than any particular med. My appetite during the day has also dropped off, although I still binge at night after taking my Remeron. All of that basically predates Luvox. I felt a little headachy and queasy after taking the Luvox last night, but this morning I woke up with no headache. There has been no apparent drop in the sweating that I attributed to Paxil so far. Either Luvox is just as bad, it's an effect of all SSRIs that I didn't notice while taking Celexa for 5 years, or it is multifactorial in origin. I suspect that Wellbutrin is contributing as much as the SSRI. I haven't had any major GI problems since switching to Luvox, so I am very hopeful that will continue. The GI problems were serious; it sent me to the ER once and I was starting to think I had Crohn's Disease, so I really hope it was Paxil.
I'm not expecting Luvox to correct the early-morning awakenings and other increasing MDD symptoms by itself, but I am hoping for reduced side effects.
