I would gradually push the dosage of Luvox as tolerated. It often occurs that one will experience an initial blip improvement within the first 5 days that soon disappears. However, this frequently proves to be an index of good prognosis. Let's hope...
From RxList:
"
AdultsThe recommended starting dose for Fluvoxamine Maleate (fluvoxamine maleate) Tablets in adult patients is 50 mg, administered as a single daily dose at bedtime. In the controlled clinical trials establishing the effectiveness of Fluvoxamine Maleate (fluvoxamine maleate) Tablets in OCD, patients were titrated within a dose range of 100 to 300 mg/day. Consequently, the dose should be increased in 50 mg increments every 4 to 7 days, as tolerated, until maximum therapeutic benefit is achieved, not to exceed 300 mg per day. It is advisable that a total daily dose of more than 100 mg should be given in two divided doses. If the doses are not equal, the larger dose should be given at bedtime.
