Luvox (fluvoxamine) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: Like one of the previous reviewers mentioned, OCD is the underlying cause of many other conditions. I went through several doctors, medicines, and diagnoses before finally discovering my OCD and treating that, versus the other problems and symptoms caused by the OCD.
Luvox has been a wonderful help for me. It has virtually eliminated all of my symptoms of OCD. Also, what I like the best about Luvox is that it has completely eliminated my racing and intrusive thoughts. Though people laugh, when asked, I tell people the best effect of Luvox is that it quietens the voices in my head, and I honestly feel like me again.
The only drawbacks of Luvox that I have seen are: some trouble sleeping, loss of appetite, and excessive bruising.

Luvox (fluvoxamine) for Anxiety and Stress: 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.

Luvox (fluvoxamine) for Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder: After a few other medications failed to help, I tried Luvox for 13 weeks. It immediately made me nauseous, and the effect was constant--not just when I took the dose. I also had no improvement in my PTSD symptoms. Eventually I gave up and had to try another drug.

Luvox (fluvoxamine) for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder: This medicine saved my life. Racing thoughts almost non-existent. When they recur during times of stress, doctor ups dosage and immediately my mind quietens. OCD is underlying cause of many compensatory disorders, including: depression, alcoholism and eating disorder. With the OCD controlled, I have been able to take charge over the others.

Luvox (fluvoxamine) for Depression: I've had great luck with this medicine, and very few side effects. The main side effect I have experienced is trouble sleeping and feeling "revved" at night. My doctor recommended that I take the pill in the morning instead of at night.
