Schneiderian first-rank symptoms associated with fluvoxamine treatment: a case report.
This communication describes a patient who developed Schneiderian first-rank symptoms in the course of treatment with fluvoxamine. The patient, a 28-year-old man suffering from panic disorder, developed several first-rank 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 first-rank symptoms in some susceptible patients.
