> What about low dose lexapro and this dang 50mg of luvox been on for ll years can't get off and tried many times? Phillipa. You may babblemail me
Hi Phillipa - sorry, I still haven't figured out what Babblemail is. But if the Luvox and Lexapro are not helping you, has your Psychiatrist given you a way to taper off slowly? Have you heard of "The Road Back" which is a website that helps people get off meds without too many side effects? http://www.theroadback.org/ I think you have to buy some supplements with the program that the guy recommends though.
There is nothing wrong with Lexapro and Luvox. They can be really helpful - heck, I get tempted to "go natural" sometimes, and then I go a few days without my medications and feel so badly I am grateful to high heaven for my drugs!! I'm 42 and I'll stay on some of them for life. Who cares if my brain synapses get a little weird. At least I'll be alive and not desperately depressed. But the key is, are they helping you. If not, then yeah, I'd want off of them too.
