I have been on many different meds for my anxiety. After trying all the SSRI's and some of the benzodiazepines, Luvox has been the only anti-depressant to really help me. I had been stabilized on 250 mgs daily of luvox, but then like alot of other people think, "i dont need it anymore." so i decided to wean off it. To make a long story short, i got off it. I was off it for two days, then started to feel like crap. Anxiety returned, electric brain zaps, etc. So, I decided to go back on it. Instead of easing my way up to 250 mgs, i just started taking it like nothing had happened.
That was 4 weeks ago and i dont feel any difference. Do you think I will get the same effect as I had before, or should I raise it to 300 mgs?
