Comment:
Have been on Luvox for 2 years. It took about 4 months for me to see the full effect. Don't know where I would be without it. Not cured but it is manageable and I have a life to live.

It worked for my depression. Takes awhile to get dosage right. Have taken for several years, worst side effect is insomnia. OCD is always with you--this med takes the edge off. You have to be strong and stop letting your mind torment you!

Frightening side effects. I literally have taken one dose and within a few hours had a pounding heart rate, sweating, dizziness, disoriented and racing thoughts. Have never experienced such before in my life. I will never take this medicine again.
