A member asked:
Been on 250 luvox cr for 4 months all at bed time....due to nausea dr. going to reduce to 200 at bedtime how long before a steady state of 200 reached?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
In 5-10 days : Steady state is achieved in 5-10 days from initiation of therapy from none to full dose, so it would be anticipated that it may take less time to achieve steady state if going from 250 to 200. Other medications that are taken as well as liver disease can also affect the rate of metabolism. I hope tolerated the reduced dose.
