Hello, Fluvoxamine can increase sedation. Either you can take 50 mg tab in morning and 150 mg at night. 50mg fluvoxamine is available so don't break the tablet. If the sleep problem is still not resolved you can take 200mg in night time. Its better to take maximum dose of fluvoxamine at night time.
