Completely annihilated my obsessive thoughts and compulsive behavior within a week. It also dissolved my social anxiety to the point that I can enjoy myself in social situations, something I would never have believed possible. Initial few weeks of drowsiness actually proved beneficial, as it combatted my anxiety-inspired insomnia. I'm extremely grateful to have encountered this medication.

I've been on 200mg of Luvox CR for about four years. I suffer from OCD but mostly just obbsesive thoughts. Most days I'm really good and can shut down the thoughts, some days are still tough but the good days far out number the bad days. I really don't suffer from any side effects.
