Abstract
This communication describes a patient who developed Schneiderian firstβrank symptoms in the course of treatment with fluvoxamine. The patient, a 28βyearβold man suffering from panic disorder, developed several firstβrank symptoms during fluvoxamine administration. These symptoms abated 1 week after fluvoxamine treatment was discontinued and haloperidol was started. Although haloperidol was discontinued, no further hallucinations or delusions occurred. This finding suggests that fluvoxamine can precipitate Schneiderian firstβrank symptoms in some susceptible patients. Copyright Β© 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
