A member asked:
Luvox is the ssri known to cause the most sedation yet insomnia is listed by 34% on the p.i. sheet.......is not this a contradiction?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Luvox: Drugs.Com lists Insomnia at 21% and somnolence at 22%. This does not mean the information is contradictory. A medication can effect each person differently. Medication "A" may cause insomina in one person, sedation in another and have no effect on drowsiness or sedation in a third patent. REF: https://www.drugs.com/sfx/luvox-side-effects.html
