Luvox Question

Hey All!

I tried to do a search for this and didn't see this question recently.

I'm on Luvox where I take it 2x a day. The side effects have been..... interesting to say the least. I'm only on 75mg now, trying to get to 100mg a day. These symptoms have luckily gotten better but they really sucked at the beginning. Intense Nausea when going up in dose, loss of appetite, heart palpitations, weird globlus feeling in throat, fatigue, headaches, back aches, insomnia/frequent nighttime awakening etc.

I am wondering if anyone had a better time switching to the extended release version in reduction of side effects. What dosing did you really start to feel relief at?

My OCD/Health OCD/Emetophobia has been ruining my life for the past 5 years. I have tired multiple SSRI's throughout the years. The only med that ever really helped was an SNRI, Cymbalta, but my body changed during pregnancy and postpartum and it just stopped working. Still trying to wean off it as well but it's worse then getting off benzos in my experience. I'm currently in ERP and working with a psychiatrist. I just want this med to work but I'm feeling discouraged.

Would appreciate any insight or encouragement! Feel like taking this med everyday is an exposure for me lol (not a bad thing, just an observation)!

Thanks
