Anybody here take this? My psychiatrist and I just might decide to switch me to it for my intense anxiety and my OCD thoughts.

It works well for me, though I have to caution, it took a few months to see an effect. I actually take it with another tri-cyclic antidepressant, clomimpramine, name brand anafranil.

Ten years ago, it changed my life. OCD, anxiety, drinking too much alcohol, depression.

Luvox CR? Or just regular Luvox? I'm concerned because regular Luvox not only because my regular Luvox sedated me a lot, making me sleep extremely long lengths of time, but that it slowed my reflexes. Lexapro dos not seen to slow reflexes. Does anyone know if Luvox CR slows reflexes like regular Luvox?
