A member asked:

A week ago i started fluoxetine 10mg for anxiety/panic and it is starting to help but i am having a hard time sleeping.is there anything i can take?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Morning: take the prozac (fluoxetine) in the morning as sometimes it can affect sleep. try melatonin for sleep which is found over the counter. however it is best to discuss this with your physician.
