I started taking LUVOX 5 days ago. I have a terrible morning sickness everyday, I lost my apetite, and I wake up in the middle of the night shaking with my hands sweating. So yesterday I only took half of the dosis I was taking and I feel so much better today. When My doctor prescribed me this medication he said side effects were normal and they could disappear in a couple of days, what do you think I should do? Coz I havent tell him I feel so bad.

@Khriztie87 All of those adverse reactions can be caused by Luvox. The side effects should lessen/go away over a couple of weeks. You should tell your physician's office what dose you are taking. The best way to start Luvox (or any antidepressent) is start with a low dose and slowly titrate up. You can even start taking a low dose every other day, then every day, then increase the dose. If you are taking more than 100mg -the dose needs to be taken in two divided doses. Hope this helps!

You know what NOBODY mentions... is how long this can take to occur. Can it happen the first time you take it? Does it happen after a few days of taking the mixed drugs... weeks? months? years? I, for the second time, just took 15mg of adderall xr on top of my 50mg of zoloft. I'm irritable but I almost think it's from the anxiety that comes with being worried about serotonin syndrome. When I get anxious, I get irritable. So... am I going to die? lol

[GetPharmacyAdvice]

Yes, it can happen the first time you take a new drug -or increase a strength of a drug. It usually presents within 6-24 hours from taking the new drug (or increasing strength). Adderall can cause aggitation, anxiety and irritability all on its own -so it is difficult to determine if it is SS. Look for signs of jitteriness, tremors, aggitation and belly issues. It doesn't hurt to call your physician, if you are concerned -SS is usually diagnosed by a quick physical exam and history.

Also took 1 Zoloft years ago with Xanax and wound up dehyd and in hospital for a week.

[Realtorofyear]

My question is what medications can someone take if they ever get pneumonia etc,....I appears that SS can occur with almost any type of drug. .

[Realtorofyear]

I had SS experience by asking one dose of Delsym OTC cough suppressant along with .25 Xanax and .10 Lipitor. I15 years ago took Phenelyphrine eye dilation drops with Ludiomil and Xanax and had grand mal seizure

Does it sound like I have a neurological disorder, generalized anxiety or SS? please respond

[redwingsandjazzfan]

Took Lexapro for 2 yrs and back in June I started having heart palpitations. This progressed into vitreous detachments, muscle aches, chest pain, consistent migraines, tremors, irritability and a lot of other things. My doctor ran a lot of tests and everything came up clean. He took me off the Lexapro and it helped briefly but it seems like I'm just getting worse. He has referred me to a neurologist but I've read that SS is treated by more then just taking the patient off the med.
