Do you use this med much to treat social anxiety disorder? I see that it is FDA approved for that. Curious how it compares in clinical practice to sertraline or escitalopram for social anxiety. It has several favorable studies for treatment of social anxiety disorder. Maybe the SSRIs that target sigma-1 (sertraline, fluvoxamine) are the best for social anxiety for some reason? Just a curious SAD patient, not a doctor. Thank you

since luvox is specifically used for ocd, do we know if luvox works better for ocd than say zoloft?

@LevelheadedMind Жыл бұрын

Not necessarily, most people will tolerate sertraline better. But if that doesn't work, then I'd try Luvox.

¿It is better than velanfaxine?..does luvox make you hungry or make you gain weight by slowing down your metabolism?

I have not used this medication, but have heard that it helps since it increases dopamine.

Started luvox back in January 2017, I went from 150 pounds to 290 pounds in about 2 years. Almost double my weight. Stopped it last October. Got all I could from it. Trying to lose the weight but it kind of screwed my metabolism.

Sorry to hear about that.

Do you think you gained because of a side effect of the med, or were you just being easier on yourself ? I gain on ssris that supposedly don’t cause weight gain and I’ve always wondered why. Luvox through, so far, I’ve been able to lose some weight counting calories.

@neuroplastic3142 Жыл бұрын

@@Pepi86753 it was probably a combination of both being easier and side effects but I was always thin and always ate whatever I wanted so I don't think my eating habits changed too much and that's why I think it was mostly a metabolism slowing side effect

What is the most effective antidepressant? 🙂

@LevelheadedMind Жыл бұрын

That's a subjective answer as every patient will respond differently. From my experience and opinion, I'd say Bupropion, but now with this new one out, Auvelity, that could be better but the jury is still out to see how effective it really is.

@LevelheadedMind Жыл бұрын

@noahleppin6799 An SSRI is Typically used adjunctively with those, Like escitalopram or sertraline. Though, it really depends on what antidepressants work best for you and what you are treating.

@@LevelheadedMind Hi Good evening Hope I didn't text too late I just wanted to ask you what do you think the best thing is for social anxiety and the fact that I've been taking Xanax for like 30 years and can something take place of that such as laprexo or anything else that you can advise me of with not too many side effects So I might be able to cut down on the what the benzodiazepines I'm not sure what to do thank you and I'm in the car texting voice texting so it's coming out lousy

I'm hoping you have some good advice. My dose is high but constant, for decades I don't have memory loss Five 2mg a day as needed and 1mg clonopin 3times day if needed I always have a couple of weeks left on a alprazolam. Sometimes less with stress. I tried along time ago in my 30's for detox but they didn't get the fact that alprazlam and Klonopin are not like alcohol. They were all putting the same category only I was reduced to practically nothing and I was so miserable even after I left. Any ideas on what to do I would continue I'm 64 years old and and doing well in my job and so forth I just don't want to be incapacitated. Thank you so much love levelheaded. Much love to you for help

@bruceelias2732 try l-theanine to take the edge off the withdraw and taper slowly. I hope the best for you. I have never quit benzos I have never had to take them.
