ObjectiveThe selective serotonin reuptake inhibitor (SSRI) fluoxetine can increase serum levels of clozapine and norclozapine, but effects of other SSRIs are unknown. Thus, the authors evaluated interactions of clozapine with fluoxetine, paroxetine, and sertraline.MethodSerum clozapine and norclozapine concentrations were assayed in 80 psychiatric patients, matched for age and clozapine dose, given clozapine (mean dose= 279 mg/day) alone or with fluoxetine (mean dose= 39.3 mg/day), paroxetine (mean= 31.2 mg/day), or sertraline (mean= 92.5 mg/day). Each patient's dose of clozapine was stable for at least a month before serum sampling.ResultsConcentrations of clozapine plus norclozapine averaged 43% higher, and the risk of levels higher than 1000 ng/ml was 10-fold greater (25%), in the patients taking SSRIs, with minor differences between patients taking the individual SSRIs.Conclusions
