Switch medication from fluvoxamine to maprotiline.[1] [2]

Nietinrijdenbord.png Stop fluvoxamine
  • Before day 1: gradually reduce dosage of fluvoxamine to a maximum of 50 mg/ day when this dosage is > 50 mg/day.
  • Day 1: reduce dosage of fluvoxamine to a maximum of 25 mg/day.
Eenrichtingbord.png Start maprotiline
  • Day 1: simultaneously start administration of maprotiline in a low dosage of 25-75 mg/day.
  • Day 8: stop administration of fluvoxamine and continue administration of maprotiline. If necessary, increase dosage of maprotiline.
Infobord.png More information
  • Fluvoxamine slows the metabolism of maprotiline via CYP1A2 and CYP2D6.
  • "Start low, go slow" is not required, but caution is necessary.
  • Occurrence of the serotonin syndrome is not likely, but theoretically possible, so caution is necessary.
