I am 46 and have had OCD since I was 17. Started taken Luvox in 1998 and it has taken the edge off of my repeating habits. It will never cure my OCD but mentally makes me feel better. Carla, I read your review and would like to find out more about how you are doing?

After many tries with different meds Luvox is the one that helps my OCD. While I am by no means free of OCD it is livable now. I've been on 100mg for 12 years now and it is a great medication. I'm so happy to have found a good one for me. I recently cut down to 50mg about 9 months ago which has helped keep me from gaining the weight I did with the regular dose. Truly a blessing for tho

During the day i felt as though i was on a "high" and would slip away into "blank" thought patches.
