" I was on it for about 3 1/2 years, I guess it helped some and I did gain weight, But not sure it was the Luvox or some of the other meds I am on, it finally got to the point where it wasn't working as I am sure everything else is like that too. "

" From what my dr said, it is not a weight gainer. I switched last week and he knows that I am a little OCD about my weight. I noticed the side effects said that it helps with Aneroxia, Bulemia and Obesity which seem to contradict each other so I dont know.

I think everyone reacts differently to different meds so give it a try.

I'm just worried it wont work for my OCD. Cant they make one thing that specifically works for OCD?? Geez!! "
