A member asked:

Does the side effect of vivid dreams while on 50 mg of luvox at night eventually go away or stop occurring?

A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dr. Stuart Hickerson answered

Specializes in Family Medicine

Side effects: In an article from Pediatric and Child Health the dream side effects were dose dependent and did go away after using the medication for a few weeks. If the problem would continue for a month I would let your provider know..
