    I have tried handfuls of other drugs, and Luvox is the only one that has worked wonders for my OCD- I actually forget I have it most times. It no longer affects my life. The cons associated with this drug are a decreased sex drive and bad withdrawal symptoms if I miss one, or especially two, doses. I get vertigo and nausea. Otherwise few side effects while taking it.

    zit worked great for my OCD & PAD but ultimately I have made the decision to get off of this.. I lost the ability to orgasm after a few months and my sex drive is gone. It really took a toll on me & my husbands sex life. Which overtime will really disrupt things. ----This drug is so HARD to get off of.. Major withdrawl symptoms... even when I'm barely breaking the amounts off grad ... Show Full Comment
