Specializes in Psychiatry

Your psychiatrist: If you have been on risperidal and luvox for the last 13 years, you should not be getting medical directions from on- line doctors who have never met you and don't know your history. Did you know that you were asking this on a health education site? Please coordinate weaning with your prescribing provider - it is really important. Take care.

What is the best drug to help with daily racing thoughts. My psychiatrist has me on Luvox, but it seems like it stops working. Yes, I have called him and he just wants to keep upping the dose. I just would prefer a more effective drug.
