| 5 | Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Panic | All the side effects went away on the second week. | The best medication ever! I tried all the SSRI. Only two of them worked with me. Citalopram I became other person with no libido at all! With Luvox, I'm so much more sensible. Without anxiety, without OCD and it increased my libido a lot! And finally I'm feeling more "me". Citalopram made me feel other person. But with luvox, I'm the "real me". As I'm from Brazil, sorry about my english. | M | 28 | 14 days 25mg 1X D | 11/1/2014 | |

| 5 | Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Panic | Only on the first month. (confusing, lived dreams, fatigue, dry mouth, insomnia, etc.) Now, I'm only feeling the teeth more sensible. | The best SSRI for me. Only two of them worked with me. Citalopram I took during 1 year and I became another person (change of personality) with angry and with NO LIBIDO at all. I stopped to like the things I used to like and I lost all the good feelings (love, as an example). Now, with luvox, it is totally different. It increased my libido A LOT. I'm feelings all the "feelings". I'm the "real me". It's hard to explain. But I have to thank this medicine. It saved my life. | M | 28 | 60 days 37,5mg 1X D | 12/20/2014 | |
| 5 | Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Panic | In the first month: (confusing, lived dreams, fatigue, dry mouth, insomnia, asleep), in the second month: (suicidal thoughts, a little depression, sensible teeth, weird sensation in the head). on the third month: (nothing). So, just wait. | The best SSRI for me. Only two of them worked with me. Citalopram I took during 1 year and I became another person (change of personality) with angry and with NO LIBIDO at all. I stopped to like the things I used to like and I lost all the good feelings (love, as an example). It was good but at the same time it was bad. Now, with luvox, it is totally different. It increased my libido A LOT. I'm feelings all the "feelings". I'm the "real me". It's hard to explain. But I have to thank this medicine. It takes a long time to you feel better! Try to wait! Although the beginning side effects, All of them passed. It saved my life. Thanks, Luvox! | M | 28 | 3 months 50mg 1X D | 1/21/2015 | |
| 5 | Anxiety, Depression, OCD, Panic | Today, sensible teeth and sometimes confused (but I think it is because I was very out of my mind with intrusive thoughts, before this medicine). But on the beginning, a lot of side effects. See my history. | Bye bye, intrusive thoughts! Sometimes I feel sad. But I think it is good. Because it is my normal. I can feel everything. It is good to have a relationship. With citalopram I couldn't feel anything. See my history for more details. | M | 28 | 5 months 75(50n25d) 2X D | 3/24/2015 | |
| 5 | OCD, Anxiety, Depression, Panic | Today, Sensible Teeth. Before, see my history. | If you are very "out of your mind", you will get confused and you will fell a lot of side effects. Once you pass this phase (for me, only after the sixth month), you will feel better. The best part of this medicine is that my libido is back to normal. Citalopram Made me feel good but with no sexy desire and with weird social actions (even after stoping taking it). If you lost some feelings with other medication, I thing this one is the best for you. I can feel everything. Sadness, Happiness. It is like taking nothing. But it stops with your depression and other diseases.. I thought it couldn't be possible for my case. By the way, for me, this one is the best for hypochondriac and others intrusive thoughts. My case was getting worse with Therapy. For me, therapy only destroyed my life, because I couldn't stop to think about this bullshit. Everytime that I went on it, I used to wake up thinking about something related with therapy (3 years of therapy with 2 different approaches, trying to find the best one). For those who have a lot of intrusive thoughts, I think this medicine is the best! For those who suffer from these kinds of diseases, I recommend to read this book: "my age of anxiety (Scott Stossel). It helped me. | M | 28 | 6 months 75(25d50n) 1X D | 5/2/2015 | |
| 5 | OCD, Anxiety, Depression, Panic | Today, bruxism and, as a consequence of it, sensible teeth. But I think it is not because of the medicine, I think it is because of my condition. And, conffusion, too. Because I was very out of my mind. I'm on a period that I'm having to change all my thoughts of everything.. | M | 28 | 7 months 50/50 2X D | 6/13/2015 | ||

| 5 | OCD, Anxiety, Depression, Panic | Today, bruxism and, as a consequence of it, sensible teeth. I have to sleep with a "teeth case" to stop the bruxism. But I think it is not because of the medicine, I think it is because of my condition. | Wonderfull medicine for OCD. If you are very out of your mind, wait, at least, 6 months. Don't worry about the initial symptoms. Most of them are because of our conditions. If you give this medicine to someone that does not have any condition, that person, probably, will not feel any colateral effect (my brother is an example of that). The best thing of it is that it affects almost nothing the libido. In my case, it increased. Because I was with a lot of obsessions thoughts about sex in general. I was hypochondriac about being affect by some disease in a relationship.. I'm still increasing the dosage until I find the best for me. I will wait more to see if 125mg is the perfect dosage for my case. | M | 28 | 8 months 75n/50d 2X D | 7/5/2015 | |
