Hi, I have been dieting for months while on Luvox and I don't lose any weight. Has anyone else experienced difficulty losing weight on Luvox or any other antidepressant, even at the smallest dose?

I can't gain weight. Have you tried Effexor or wellubtrin (or a combination of the two)? Desipramine might also lead to weight loss.
You might try adding some wellbutrin to luvox

Hi, I haven't tried any of those, but I'll discuss it with my doctor next week. Thanks.

I lost weight while on Luvox years ago. What and how much do you eat every day? Do you exercise?

I never gained weight on luvox. Also just take with low dose of benzos and a tiny dose of Lexapro. Phillipa

Hi, you must have an amazing metabolism. I eat about 1,000 calories a day and exercise for an hour every day.

Hi, I just asked my doctor since I had failed everything else and he said "yes." Luvox is the only thing I'm taking at 100mg.
