Tobacco smoking may reduce the effectiveness of Fluvoxamine in treating your condition. Tobacco smoke contains substances that speed the removal of Fluvoxamine from the body, which in theory can make this drug less effective. Alternatively, if you take Fluvoxamine and suddenly stop Tobacco smoking, you may experience Fluvoxamine related side effects like sweating, upset stomach, nausea/vomiting, drowsiness, tremor, or difficulty sleeping. Make sure your prescriber is aware that you smoke Tobacco or if you plan to stop smoking.

Although an interaction is possible, these drugs are often used together. Side effects from Caffeine may get worse if you take Fluvoxamine.
