Teacup Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 Did luvox help your OCD? Did it also help anything else you were diagnosed with? My pdoc prescribed me Luvox for my OCD harm thoughts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sixstringkate Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I didn't do well on Luvox. I've got anxiety & depression issues too, and it didn't help enough with either. Zoloft and now Prozac have worked really well for helping me control my OCD self harming thoughts & actions and anxiety. I'm also on Wellbutrin for the depression & it's made a big difference. But everyone's different, and you'll never know until you try it out! Good luck! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
basuraeuropea Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 luvox has helped more than the other ssris i've tried for anxiety/ruminating thoughts with the exception of perhaps paxil. i also take memantine off-label for anxiety/ruminating thoughts and that helps a great deal as well.

San Posted August 3, 2012 Share Posted August 3, 2012 I don't have OCD, but I do have some thoughts and behaviours that are OCD-like (Does that make sense?) I have major problems with anxiety and was on 300mg of Luvox a year ago, and 2mg of Xanax. Now I'm on 100mg of Luvox and 1mg of Xanax. It stops the obsessive thoughts. It kicked in quickly when I first started it. I really like it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Teacup Posted August 5, 2012 Author Share Posted August 5, 2012 Dbt tdoc thought I should not have been given luvox for OCD according to his physcological assessment and talking to me. He considers my thoughts to be ruminative, and that dbt will help me more than blaming a diagnosis of OCD. Of course that is for my particular case, possibly not ocd'ers in general. It may have something to do with my bpd diagnosis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chimpmaster Posted August 8, 2012 Share Posted August 8, 2012 Luvox has a great rep for dealing with OCD, as well as other anxiety disorders and depression. It didn't work well for me, but for many others its great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
