A member asked:
Would taking my 60mg of prozac (fluoxetine) at night instead of the morning help with my daytime sleepiness? thank you
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Fluoxetine: or Prozac (fluoxetine) is more commonly associated with difficulty sleeping or insomnia and is not generally thought of as a sedative medication. There may be other reasons for your daytime sleepiness but you should be ok to try taking this medicine at night.
