Should be okay: There’s some evidence that Luvox prolongs the time it takes to eliminate caffeine from the body. A person *should* be able to tolerate reasonable amounts of caffeine while on Luvox but might need to cut back if he were to notice symptoms typically associated with excessive caffeine intake like a racing heart dizziness, diarrhea, increased thirst, insomnia, headache, or fever.
