"I was prescribed Luvox for social anxiety. I was told to take it at night before bed. After the first night of taking it, I woke up feeling pretty sedated and feeling weird. I also had nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. "

"My daughter started on Prozac in March and few days her anxiety went so high so admitted in the hospital and dr changed her diagnosis and gave her 4 different meds. She came home with more anxiety and panic and more side effects from meds. After 3 weeks she started taking Luvax from 7 weeks, her anxiety and panic went little under control. She has been on several SSRI and she gets severe side effects from all of them. She has MDD, GAD and panic disorder from last 7 years. She is so tired and exhausted from not getting good sleep, and not on ease at all! First dr who prescribed Prozac didn’t help her from her anxiety. Now we switched to other dr. And he wants her to stay on Luvax until esketamine starts. If any one has suggestions please let me know."

"I have suffered from panic attacks for 12 years and was recently diagnosed with OCD. My doctor prescribed my Luvox (20mg). I was very hopeful that this drug would help with all the worrying I do. On day 4 of the medicine, I had panic attacks for HOURS. I’d have one and then 10-15 minutes later would have another. I ended up calling 911 because I thought I was dying (it’s been years since I had panic attacks as bad as this). I also ended up at the ER were the panic attacks would not stop. I will not take another pill of this."

"I’m on fluvoxamine for depression. It helped with it and with my bad thoughts but it gave me severe sexual problems so I'm forced to switch. It only started to be helpful after a month and also it can give you sleep problems and anxiety (just at the start, like the first 2 weeks). But the sexual problems are still there even if my depression has been better, but still not cured. So I’m switching now."

"I've been on it from 2 months for my anxiety and its working pretty fine but I've decreased libido and low sexual drive and its concerning for a young guy to have this sort of side effects. I am gonna consult my doctor about this"

"So I loved this at first - did wonders for my depression and anxiety but then as soon as I increased dosage I had INSANE constipation and stomach issues. Talking 3-4 days and intense bloating, hard to concentrate or be at work, etc. When I would skip a dose to fix my stomach I’d have a bad headache for half the day. Just a lose lose on everything but my anxiety and depression. Now will be going off sadly. Watch out for stomach issues!"

"Tell your doctor if this medicine makes you excessively thirsty. I took it for a month and it depleted my sodium. I was so thirsty all I did was drink water. "
