Does anyone have experience with Luvox?
I took the past semester off school and have been focusing on recovery from my eating disorder for the past few months, working with both a dietitian and a therapist. I also struggle with OCD (have since childhood) and anxiety (mostly social anxiety). Both my therapist and dietitian highly suggested I meet with a doctor who specializes in EDs and mental health to discuss maybe getting on medication, and I had my appointment with her yesterday.
Since my weight is still low, the Dr. seemed to think that most SSRIs wouldn't work. She said she often prescribes clonazepam for anxiety for patients like myself. I am not sure this is a good med (for me, at least) because of its potential for addiction and sedative properties. The other medication she suggested was Luvox. I did some quick research on it and read that it is used for both OCD and social anxiety, but from what I read, seems to cause a lot of fatigue and loss of motivation, both of which concern me.
I am not really sure I even want to take a medication. I think my treatment providers suggested it because I've been stuck weight-wise at the same weight for awhile and haven't made progress, and also because I do have a lot of anxiety (OCD and just in general). However, the idea of taking medication really scares me. I'm afraid of the side effects, mostly. I also just don't generally like taking meds and rarely even take things like ibuprofen. I feel like my therapist and dietitian expect me to try them though and if I don't, they'll be disappointed in me. I DO want to get my life back and recover, but I am just scared.
Sorry that was so lengthy, but if anyone has any advice or experience with a situation similar to mine, I'd love to hear from you. Thanks so much for reading this.

has anyone heard of the bee pollen diet
have anyone tried losing weight by eating lean meat ONLY right after PERIODS/MENSES?
I just did a few physical exercises.
according to the suggested 10 days weight-losing Programme, the next five days should eat half lean meat half vegetables, and better following with 2 vegan days. Have anyone tried it? It works wonder for me and I'm going to do it again a few days later.
