I was wondering when Prozac should be taken (if it makes you sleepy or not). Should it be taken in the morning or evening?

Thanks so much everyone. Hope everybody is feeling good today.

I'm going to vote for AM, only because SSRI's tend to mess with my sleep patterns. OTOH, your experience may be different. If you decide to change when you take your Prozac do it in 30 hour increments, i.e. 6:00am first day, then 12:00pm second day, then 6:00pm third day, then bed-time the fourth day.

Good luck!

Hi there,

If you have a prescription, it should say when to take it. To be on the safe side, check with your doctor or pharmacist. When I took Prozac, I took it in the morning.

I hope that this helps.

I hope that the Prozac works for you. Keep us posted.

Hugs, Karen...

I don't have a answer for opinion for you. I just saw the title and had to respond that it made me think of the 20s song, "Ain't We Got Fun." http://lyricsplayground.com/alpha/songs/a/aintwegotfun.shtml

Ev'ry morning, ev'ry evening
Ain't we got fun?
Not much money, Oh, but honey
Ain't we got fun?
The rent's unpaid dear
We haven't a bus
But smiles were made dear
For people like us

AM is best, I asked a doc. Take care of yourself and best wishes.
