Hi Gordon.

My Dr told me to take it at the same time each morning however some people find it better to take it at night due to the side effects. I have taken it in the morning for 9 weeks now 40mg, good luck. I hope they work for you. Im still having the side effects but am remaining confident they will work at some point

Hi Gordon

Been on Prozac 20mg now since May. Always taken it at 7am. seems to work well. After a few initial teething problems it really is doing what it should. Hope it helps you.

Hi Gordon,

I take mine before bedtime at night. Works well for me. When I first started taking it, it made me sleepy that’s why I now just take it at night.

Hi there. When I first started Prozac, I took it at night before bed because I didn’t want to feel the side effects, but I recently just switched to taking it at 9am. I figured it was in my system good enough and taking it at night by about 2pm, it was like it was wearing down and I was getting igitated. But since switching it to 9am, it is much better and I still sleep well at night.
