In reply to Luvox Seriously Is It Considered an Antipsychotic?, posted by Phillipa on March 12, 2013, at 12:44:47
> Been reading and one forum said that luvox is used in psychotic depression, bipolar depression and that the increases on other meds such as benzos and then caffeine made it a very dangerous med. Please some insight in simple terms for a simple brain. After all these years on it why do the docs like it for me? Phillipa

This article might give some insight to why they like you on luvox. Remember though that meds like atypical antipsychotics are also used for psychotic depression, but they're used for a million other things too. Such as anxiety, sleep, bipolar, and then just depression.They have tried to find as many uses for just about every medicine on ths market. I read that SSRI's have been found useful in treating people with entero virus. They give them to people after they have a stroke to ease some of the bad effects of the stroke on cognition. It has something to do with reducing "neuronal excitability" , whatever that means.
Do you know what they diagnosed you with?
