how do you take your prozac, one single dose or divided doses?

My doc just upped my dose from 20 mg to 40 mg. She wanted to prescribe it to be taken in two doses. Morning and Afternoon. Since i'm having sleep issues from prozac she said i can take it in one single dose in the morning. I'm tolerating the 20 mg well, no major side effects so far. But i'm worried if i take it in one single dose rather than divided doses it'll increase my chances of experiencing side effects. Any thoughts?

Hi

IMO Prozac is best taken first thing in the morning in one single dose as it's a very activating antidepressant so if taken later in the day it will cause sleep problems. I currently take Prozac at 60mg dose and have found it to work well so hope it works well for you.

Keep us posted
