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. Copyright © 2003 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
