Depression
by Liza1973, Dec 03, 2007 08:18PM
My husband was diagnosed with depression 10 years ago and was taking different type of SSRI. Last five years he started taking 150mg of luvox and for the last 6 months he made a decision to cut down the luvox to 100 mg/day and started to feel anxiety. He went to see a psychiatrist and was told that he is having a GAD and advise to take 0.25mg of xanax in the morning,at noon and half of xanax at night and also to increase his luvox to 150 mg. Is this the right advise ? Pls help

If it works, and makes him better, there is no shame in taking it. Some people are on anti-anxiety meds all their life just to maintain. I take Ativan and it works for me. Sometimes anti-depressants can make a person worse. Talk to another dr. and tell him all his symptoms. Sometimes it is best to get a second opinion, anyway.
