Hi! Well first of all, you should talk to a doctor who can determine which drug is best for you. That being said, I have OCD and I'am taking Paxil, which is also a SSRI (like Luvox). It has worked really well for me. However, different drugs work for different people. I am really careful about the medicines I take, and I visit my doctor regularly to check my meds and dosage. I do have strong withdrawl symptoms if I run out of my meds after 3 or 4 days.Personally, hemeopathy didn't work for me. I ended up very frustrated about taking them for so long and not feeling better.If you do have OCD, I hope you find treatment that's right for you and helps you feel better. It's hard but hang in there. Write again if you have any other questions.If you don't have ODC, I hope this info helps.
Safest medication is Aurvedic or Homoeopathy medicines.This may take a little longer time to cure,but no other side effects.Like Obsessive Compulsive Disorder,better you consult a Homoeopathy doctor.
I think Luvox is an SSRI, meaning you can't eat certain types of food (cheese for example), so it's a bit hard to stick to it. Anafranil has some irritating side-effects I think. Google them and see if you find some discussions from people who have taken them.
Only a doctor can evaluate you clinically (in personal and never by Web!) and prescribe the right medication for you.
This is not the place to ask such a question. Medications are prescribed according to its parmacology and the desired effect on a specific patient. MORE SO psychotropic medications. Given the same illness, different patients are going to react differenty to the same medications. Who to ask? YOUR PSYCHIATRIST!! That's why he went to school for 12 years after High School!
Anafranil belong to tricyclic antidepressant group while luvox belongs to SSRI which newer class with less side effect,belonged action and very effective.I think that all doctors now shifting to this group and I really prefer it
