What's the best time of day to take Prozac?


Question:
I have been prescribed it and wondered when was the best time to take it, it does not specify in the leaflet I got with them.

Answers:
In the morning. Your seretonin levels are much lower then. You dont need it while you sleep so taking it at night is not worth it.

Other Answers:
happy hour!
In the morning, when you're most depressed.
night time late night time
In the morning as they can increase energy levels, so keep you awake at night.
it doesnt really matter, as long as u take them at the same time everyday u be fine & will get the same affect x x
Ask your doctor or pharmacist. I would guess that most YA answerers are only experts at recreational drugs :-)
Just before you realize you need it.
In the morning, at noon, again at dinner and just before you go to bed. Then again if you wake up in the night.

Ask your doctor or pharmacist for advice about medication---not freaks on youqa.coms.
The morning, so you can be cheery all day.

The doctor should have told you by prescription when to take it. If not, ask. Some people take at night and some in the morning.
when do you feel at your lowest if it is when you wake up then i would take them then. But if they make you/or are to help you sleep i would take them of a night.
Right before you go to bed...
the same time every day, what ever best suits you, though when you get up in the morning with your breakfast is as good as any as taking them late a night for a while can disrupt your sleep
i would think before bed!
right now
am
Any time is prozac time! WOOHOO!
bloody hell i cant remember
depends what effect they have on you , if they make you feel tired take at night , if they give you energy , in the morning , as long as you take what your suposed to it shouldnt mater
My son takes it in the morning because it was easier and his dose is higher to get through the day you don't need it so much in the evening because you should be sleeping so it wears off as you sleep.
My doctor said to always take it in the morning. Most importantly is to take it at the same time every day. He recommended not to vary more than an hour either side of the time I establish for taking it.
i would ask your doctor who prescribed it i think most people take during their waking hours during the day (morning) if you work nite shift then the opposite would be true but checking with your doctor would be your best bet.
hi been here, i took mine first thing in the morning and i felt a little better after 2 weeks but not completly. now i have took myself of them cold turkey which i have been told your not meant to. So far nothing bad has happend to me i sleep better, i eat now, but i still have dark days. So i don't know if the depression has gone but i am not going back on them. Hope you feel better soon well actually you won't but take care. Remember take one day at a time cause this does really work. Thing about tomorrow when you get there.
take 1st thing in morning
