Comment:
Was put on Luvox for OCD, PTSD & Panic attacks. It seems to help some but the side effects have me looking for something else. I'm a wheelchair user with poor circulation so I normally stay cold. Now I'm clammy and hot all the time and my muscles are so stiff. These side effects outweigh the benefits

Comment:
I use to have panic attacks, obsessing thoughts, and anxiety. And now with luvox I have very slim to none of these feelings! Of course it did take about 3 weeks for everything to equel out like any new medication, but I would highly recommend this! I have now been taking luvox for 5 years.
