Fluvoxamine

Last updated on: Jan 24, 2007

•       Never take fluvoxamine if you are taking another drug used to treat depression, called a Monoamine Oxidase Inhibitor (MAOI), or if you have stopped taking an MAOI in the last 14 days. Taking fluvoxamine close in time to an MAOI can result in serious, sometimes fatal, reactions, including:

• High body temperature
• Coma

• Seizures (convulsions)

MAOI drugs include Nardil (phenelzine sulfate), Parnate (tranylcypromine sulfate), Marplan (isocarboxazid), and other brands.

• Never take fluvoxamine if you take the following medicines because it can result in serious heart beat problems.

  • Mellaril (thioridazine), a drug to treat schizophrenia

  • Orap (pimozide), a drug to treat Tourette?s disorder  

What Are The Risks?

• Suicidal thoughts or actions: See FDA Alert. 

• Stopping fluvoxamine: Do not stop taking fluvoxamine suddenly because you could get side effects.  Your healthcare professional will slowly decrease your dose.

• Bleeding problems: Fluvoxamine may cause bleeding problems, especially if taken with aspirin, NSAIDs (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs, such as ibuprofen or naproxen), or other drugs that affect bleeding.

• Mania: You may become unusually hyperactive, excitable or elated.

• Seizures:  You may experience a seizure (convulsion), even if you are not taking fluvoxamine close in time with a MAOI. 

• Pregnancy: Tell your healthcare professional if you are or may be pregnant because babies delivered to mothers taking fluvoxamine late in pregnancy have developed problems, such as difficulty breathing and feeding. 

• Sexual problems: You may have problems with impotence (erectile dysfunction), abnormal ejaculation, difficulty reaching orgasm, or decreased libido (sexual desire).

• Other side effects include nausea, vomiting, upset stomach, difficulty sleeping, nervousness, shakiness, sweating, weakness, decreased appetite, and sleepiness.

• Tell your healthcare professional about all your medical conditions, especially if you have liver disease.  Tell your healthcare professional if you are breast-feeding or plan to breast-feed your baby.  

Are There Any Interactions With Drugs or Foods?

• Fluvoxamine may interact with medicines other than the ones already mentioned in this information sheet. These interactions can cause serious side effects.  Of special concern are:

• Certain benzodiazepines, which treat anxiety

• Mexitil (mexiletine), which treats heart beat problems

• Theophylline, which treats asthma

• Warfarin, which treats blood clots

Tell your healthcare professional about all medicines, vitamins, and herbal supplements you take. 

• If you plan to drink alcohol, talk to your healthcare professional.

 How Do I Take Fluvoxamine?

 Fluvoxamine is taken by mouth, with or without food, exactly as prescribed by your healthcare professional.
