good options to go with, i have a few points for you to consider.
First of all Luvox is supposed to work quite well for OCD and i am sure you would be able to deal with the c in time, that being said i tried celexa for a month and it made me very drowsy and unable to sleep so i went off of it, however i am now on lexapro and though it is very close to celexa, it has the other isomer taken out and for some reason that makes a smaller dose more effective. the first 3 weeks i had big sleeping issues, i would wake up at 4 am and then the rest of my sleep was useless and restless, but that went away a week later and now i am doing really well with it, my ocd tendencies with germs are controllable and my ibs is much better with the supplements i am taking and the reduced anxiety from the med, my vote is for lexapro, however my mothers best friend takes luvox and says she has her life back as well, so her vote is for luvox, my doc didn't want me on it as he thinks its too old school and the somewhat newer ones are better suited to me. So thats my story and input. I would try the natural calm as your body needs magnesium anyways and take gas-x as needed. if you are not taking probiotics and digestive enzymes do try to eventually get some of those into your system too. Good luck.
