Phillipa I read in the Wikipedia article on Luvox that it has the shortest half-life of all the SSRIs. Could it be that you're tapering it too fast? How quickly do you taper it - how long do you wait between dose-reductions?
Have you tried Prozac? I remember you telling me that Prozac had a positive effect on you. Prozac has a very long half-life and takes a while to build up in your system - maybe you could try a therapeutic dose of Prozac while reducing the Luvox. I haven't really heard about serotonin syndrome with two SSRIs - it's usually an MAOI with a SSRI or TCA that causes it.
I'm rooting for you - you can beat this thing.
C-PTSD: social phobia, major depression, dissociation.
Currently: 300mg amitriptyline, 200 mg sulpiride; single dose at night.
