Old Luvox hey. I was on 300mg a day for about 10 months or so for severe depression. I have tried loads of different anti depression medications over the last 11 years and for me Luvox was by far the worst because for some unknown reason it just stopped working, which is quite common with all medications for depression. My pdoc decided to switch me over to efexor xr which I have taken before, but the big problem was I had to have a 4 day washout period. I have never been so messed up and the withdrawals come on like lightning, almost within 24hrs and knock you around really badly. I can't even put it into words properly, Numb lips, arms, legs and head. Brain zaps, pins and needles all over, crying. Each drug effects every person differently, so keep up the process of weening because I didn't have the chance. Good luck and just remember you are not alone!!!!!!!!!!!!
