[stjlynn]

Why????? who told you that you can not have coffee with SSRI???????????

You can't have caffeine while on luvox ... It inhibits the Same receptor of caffeine and makes it like 10x what a normal caffeine mg would be. I hate this about luvox and want to switch just so I can drink coffee again ... Stupid but true

I say you can't but I've read on forums before where people have had caffeine while on luvox. Some said it made them super jittery and others said they didn't notice, so you could always try it and see. I was always too nervous to try it though.
