Caution is necessary
* '''Day 1:''' simultaneously start administration of doxepin in a low dosage of 25 mg/day.
* '''Day 8:''' stop administration of fluvoxamine and continue administration of doxepin only. If necessary, increase dosage of doxepin.
| info =
* Fluvoxamine slows the metabolism of doxepin via CYP2D6, and possibly via CYP1A2 too.
* "Start low, go slow" is not required, but caution is necessary.}}
