I take lithium for bipolar disorder and Luvox for OCD/Depression.
Great combo.

Hi, Eric.What subtype of bipolar disorder do you have, and what dosage of lithium are you taking?
Thanks.

It is written here that taking Luvox with Lithium is a great combo.
To mothers and fathers and others trying to make a more-informed decision as to drug your child or yourself or someone else in your charge in collaboration with a psychiatrist/doctor, be advised that Luvox could cause serotonin syndrome by itself, and adding Lithium to it could increase the risk exponentially which could lead to death. There are 1000s of cases of ss each year and over 100 deaths. The problem comes from people being unaware of that taking a combination of mind-altering drugs increases exponentially the chances of adverse events that could lead to death and that prescribers may be unaware that when they prescribe a mind-altering drug, they may not know that the person prescribed to is already taking another psychotropic drug or even another drug.
Another problem is that people who take mind-altering drugs could be advised by someone to take a combination of drugs, like here on this forum. They could think that the advice will not harm them, as on this forum chaired by a psychiatrist, they could think that a warning could be posted by the psychiatrist of potential death by taking a combination of these drugs and sanction that kind of advice as unsupportive. And if it stands, readers could think that it is supportive for members here to advocate taking combinations of these drugs.
And you mothers reading here, the effects could be even worse when taking these type of combinations because children can have a mind-altered state induced into them from these drugs to be compelled to kill themselves and that compelling can be increased exponentially when a combination is taken.
You mothers, take heed that no man deceive you. For posters could rise up against me here and there could be the beginning of sorrows. For many false doctors could arise here leading you to believe what they post is supportive and deceive many so that you or your child could be afflicted.
When you therefore see the abomination of anti-Semitic propaganda stand in this place (let the reader understand), if that is supportive here, that could deceive even intelligent people. But as the sun comes out of the east and shines even to the west, so shall the truth come here. For wherever the carcase is, there will be the eagles gathered together.

I take 900 mg of lithium which takes care of my bipolar sympptoms.
I take 100 mg of Luvox which has put my OCD in remission. The only time I have anxiety is at night when I need to go to sleep-for that I take 2 mg of Clonazepam.

I should be dead already then. I have taken Tramadol in conjunction with fluvoxomine and lithium and suffered no ill effects.
Do you know how hard it is to get serotonin syndrome?
And if taking combinations of drugs can lead to death, again, I should already be dead, as I take 5 different psychotropic drugs to treat my illnesses.
