prozac

Avatar f tn does anyone take prozac (fluoxetine) at night time and if so is better to then than taking it in the morning as its making me sleepy during the day.it has made me feel better in myself than when i was on effexor coz that made me think horrible and one time do sumthing i regret now.
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 I take 10 mg of prozac daily. I take it at night before going to bed along with 2 tylenol pms because i have trouble falling asleep. The doc wanted me to up my dose to 20 mg and when i tried i was so tired and spaced out i couldnt function but i find the 10mg takes the edge off just enough to keep my sane. I have depression and anger and anxiety. i do not drink caffiene and find if i overidulge on bad carbs and white sugar i will get very edgy.
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?

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.
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 m tn i dont know if its the medication or something but ever since ive been taking prozac ive had scary vivid dreams, often scattering topics like religion, the end of the world, and events that ive expieranced earlier in the day all in one night. i woke up at 4:30 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?
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 f tn But it says on bottle to take 1 tablet 3 times daily and thats for a 150 pound person i only way 100 or so so would i just take 2 then? And was it okay to start it or did i need to let the prozac get out of my system but i only took 3 of them only and so it should have already been out of my system cause my anxiety was worse when i wasnt taking it..
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 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 m tn Hi I have been on Remeron 30mg for 2.5 months for anxiety and it wasn't working. My doctor has put me on Prozac 20mg I have been taking this for 8 days and have been slowly tapering the Remeron. Am now down to 7.5mgs and will take 3.75mg tonight and tomorrow night and then stop. Today I feel very nausious and my head feels weird and Im a bit dizzy. Generally feel like crap. Could this be withdrawal from the Remeron or shouldn't I get withdrawal since Im on Prozac now.
459081 tn?1206355259 I have giained over 10 pds in the last 6 months I have been put on lamictral for over 6 months I am only on 100mgs. I also am on 200 welbutrin and 10 mgs of prozac. I workout 1 hour daily except days I work 16 hours. I someone give some feedback.
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.
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.
13017155 tn?1429020488 I figured it was just me that my daughter wouldnt be affected the way I was from it. But I was wrong. I started taking the Prozac yesterday.. took the second dose this morning. We shall see. Thank you so much for you advice and input. Its appreciated.
Avatar f tn 5 of the lexapro at around 7 this morning. No mania, pacing or panic yet. Just a little sleepy. I know im not supposed to adjust meds myself. I calling my primary doc in the morning to get him to recommend a different therapy center or psychiatrist. ( the one i am going to now has me convinced the doc there just wants to dope people up). I want to find a doctor who will actually listen to me beginning to end of when these panic attacks started and what meds ive tried and what has not worked.
