Common Questions and Answers about Prozac in morning or night

prozac

Avatar f tn Prozac had the opposite effect for me so I had to take it in the morning. It all depends on what works best for you.
Avatar m tn I skipped the next day and took it in the morning the following morning. I like taking it in the morning because it makes me calm throughout the day and I can still sleep at night. The first time I took it at night I didn't sleep well. Now I take it at 8am every morning and then I am asleep at night around 10-11pm without any help of sleeping pills. It really just depends on how you feel for which time of the day, you probably already know that since you have been taking Prozac.
Avatar f tn My doctor has given me diazepam 2mg if and when i need it had one yesterday morning and the morning before but not this morning yet. Was just wondering if I need to give it a little longer for the prozac to wrk or is it time for a change.

Avatar f tn When do you take the prozac? In the morning or evening? And when do you take the xanax? Is that taken every day?
Avatar m tn Hi, I am taking 60mg Prozac in the morning (past 4 weeks) and then 100mg Lithium (down from 200) with .5mg Clonazepam at bedtime for depression. Since upping the prozac from the original 20 I find that i feel quite nausious in the mornings often with the need to pass loose motions 3 or 4 times. It does fade a bit during the day but I'm not sure what may be causing this. Any ideas?
685562 tn?1447155231 Ive heard that there is a difference in the brand of meds that we with anxiety get. Like I used to get my 20 mg Prozac from Meijer "local Store" and had a few side effects, then my Doc switched me to 20mg in the morning, 10 mg at night, and I got them filled at the Pharmacy there in the DR's.
Avatar f tn Hi all been on fluoxetine before now and used to take it at tea time 3 years ago but this time round been on it 5 weeks now and was feeling good after 1-2 weeks but just this last week having difficulty sleeping and feeling rubbish because I thought it was working after the first week anyone suggesting this med is best taken in the morning instead of tea/night time also I'm only taking 20mg not to sure wether this needs increasing if I feel rubbish after feeling good.
Avatar f tn Hi, 20mg of Prozac is not so much i guess(for depression?), here in The Netherlands they would dose up max 200mg Prozac in 3 gfts a day with 50mg tablets. May be ask your doc to raise? But sometimes you do not feel it that the meds are working, ask the people around you if the stuff works, they would notice your behavour and emotions?
311051 tn?1193416206 Just recently I was put on Prozac from 125mg of zoloft. I am now taking 20mg of prozac and 2mg of Klonopin at night. I feel lightheaded and dizzy, I always have a headache and half the time feel depersonalization. I hate it! My psych this morning told me it's not the meds, he says that I am just anxiuos and making myself think it's the meds. He also said I could come off of anti- depressants all together if I want to.
Avatar f tn For example, if a med causes more drowsiness, it makes sense to take it at night, whereas if a med causes an increase in anxiety, the morning makes more sense. I think trying to adjust the dosage time is totally reasonable, and you may find that it's more helpful when taking it at a different time. Definitely ask your doc first, but it shouldn't be an issue. Also remember to always take the Prozac as close to the same time every day as possible. Good luck, keep us updated!
Avatar f tn Like you i am on Wellbutrin 150 mg amd 20mg of Prozac i do well on both have been for 2 yrs now. The prozac makes me tired i tried no prozac and 1 wellbutrin in the morning and 1 in the afternoon. I had more energy but i was snapping at everyone and being hateful so went back on the prozac my Dr. said the prozac dosnt make you tired but my body says the different.
Avatar n tn I went to my doctor and he put me on Prozac which I thought helped at first. But now I feel worse especially in the morning. I also started sweating alot at night which makes it hard to sleep. The only thing that makes me feel settled is having a few beers at night. Then I actually feel normal and happy again. Does anyone know if these are depression problems or anxiety. Please help thanks.
Avatar m tn 30 last night shaking because the dream felt so real. I was just wondering if this is natural with the prozac? have any of you experianced this? and i really think its a side effect from the medicine, because if i take it at night it causes me to have insomnia, so i always take it in the morning, and ive been having these dreams since about 3 or 4 weeks after taking the medicine.
Avatar f tn I had been taking the propranolol in the morning, but have read that the best time to take it is in the nighttime. Does anyone know what would be the best time morning or nighttime? Thank you.
Avatar f tn Hello, I have been on 20mg's Prozac for about 3 1/2 weeks now and my anxiety (especially in the morning) seems to be getting worse. I also take 15mg's of Remeron (generic) to help me sleep at night. My questions are.... could the Pozac be making my anxiety worse? Would increasing my does help relieve the anxiety or make it worse?
Avatar f tn i have to take the prozac at night because its zonks me out in the day if i take it in the morning..the dr found that odd....i also sweat alot on it....i guess thats a side effect im scared of going up higher but maybe it will do the trick i guess im scared because i feel down after staring it and afraid it will make me even downer on higher dose....any one have this happen before?
994817 tn?1249738278 So I have SEVERE anxiety and a horrible panic disorder. I get chest/rib/back pains and heart palpitations ALL day long and really bad headaches. I just stated taking Prozac (Fluoxetine) this morning so obviously I'm not sure if its working yet. But is anyone taking this medication right now? Or has anyone taken it previously? If you are, please tell me how its working out for you. Or if you took it but don't now, did you stop because you didn't like it? Thanks!
Avatar f tn My Dr warned me that this might happen and recommended that I take it in the morning if it does. Do you already take yours in the morning? I still need to call her today to ask if I'm allowed to take some Ambien or Tylenol PM or anything. I think I would heal faster if I could get a solid night sleep for a couple of nights.
1699033 tn?1514113133 Why does it happen and does it matter if I take the dose at a different time...say in the morning versus at night? Would I then be "edgy" when I was sleeping and not notice it? I have klonopin to take but even on a half of klonopin...you feel like a zombie looking for a place to lay down so I kind of try to fight that and usually give in after a few hours and take a quarter of a mg. Helps a little. Then the other quarter about 3 hours later!
459081 tn?1206355259 I take Lamictal every night - 50 mg. dose and have for several years. I didn't see any increase in weight or appetite. However, I do take mirtazapine(Remeron), and have gained over 10 lbs. on it (taking for 11 mos. now). Not surprising as the appetite increase/weight gain can be a drawback to Remeron. Have you asked your Dr. - perhaps it's the combination? Maybe ask the pharmacist? Hope you find the answer...it's frustrating, I know...
Avatar f tn And sometimes starting new medication can cause a short term increase in anxiety. I had severe tingling in my arms from anxiety and had to get a CT scan to rule out a stroke. Amazingly, as soon as I found out my brain was okay, my tingling went away within a day or so. Continuing to worry about it can cause the symptoms to continue and even become worse. I recommend speaking to your doctor and trying to calm down and see if your symptoms go away.
Avatar f tn I have been taking 0.5mg Klonopin every night to help me sleep with my anxiety and it's really helped but just recently my doctor has put me on 10mg of Prozac to take every morning , well now I'm having troubles sleeping again even while taking the klonopin , could the two medication's be working against each other ?? I'm new to this group so please can someone help me out ?
Avatar m tn i take Wellbutrin and Prozac. They make me sweat. So my doc suggested I take them at night instead of morning so I'm not at work or in public sweating like an animal lol. It seems to have helped with the sweating so far. Will my system be going through a chemical change for a while due to the switch? The past few days I have been going through some harsh depression,symptoms. Awake all night sleep all day my place is a royal mess I can't stand it.
1352638 tn?1277025232 I would stay wide awake night after night, sleeping in daytime. So became more withdrawn from life. Not a good thing for someone with agoraphobia. Hope someone has experience with drug you mentioned. This is just one woman's outlook.
Avatar f tn ll get off of the Remeron(generic) I do remember the first time I was on Prozac that it made me very jittery, especially in the morning for about a month. I believe that's why my doctor has kept me on the Remeron..."to bridge the gap between the two meds" as she put it.
