Hello
Welcome here.
Brief: these may be withdrawal effects of luvox.

Details: antidepressant drugs like luvox can cause withdrawal symptoms like headache, dizziness, tremors, malaise. These effects usually disappear in 5-7 days. If the symptoms are persisting beyond that, then i would advise you to visit your doctor.
You can take tablet combiflam for relief in headache.
Hope this helps.

Thanks.
