I've been on Luvox CR 300mg daily for two year now. I have taken almost every drug there is and Luvox CR has been the only one that made a huge difference. It not for some but those who it helps will be blown away by the difference.

WOW! I've been on this drug for almost a year now. It's really turned my life around. Before taking Luvox, my OCD was out of control. Living a normal life was near impossible. Thanks to Luvox I'm enjoying each day.
