First welcome to babble. I relate so fully to you. In a way same here. But I'd been on benzos low doses for over 40 years now. I also have been on first 25mg of luvox. About 6 years ago raised to 50mg. Along with benzos fine. I saw a pdoc here about 5 years ago who wanted a baseline on me as I said not depressed. He discontinued the 50mg of luvox immediately. Gave me 6mg of xanax took for a week no sleep at all. So he switched me to can you believe 8mg of ativan. Still no sleep. Ended up in ER. No psych in this branch of the hospital so they called the other hospital with pdocs and psych. Well this doc I had here in ER came back scratching his head and said he didn't understand but apparantly I needed the luvox and then l0mg of valium. I resumed the 50mg of luvox that night and took regular dose of valium and slept like a baby. I never thought anyone else could possibly have the same thing as me. Now six years later must be out of the house a lot and can't be alone. Fear. I have since added .5mg of xanax and take 7.5mg of valium & 2.5mg of lexapro. The lexapro I can get off but the luvox not!!! The first time given luvox I took 250mg of it with ativan and felt great. Unfortunately this doc took me off it for a trial and never have taken same dose. There is definitely something about luvox what I have no idea? Phillipa
