Caution: Prozac (fluoxetine) interaction with Suboxone may increase side effects such as dizziness, drowsiness, and difficulty concentrating. Both drugs are long-acting, ie, in the system >24 hours, so spacing them by hours won't change the interaction a whole lot. Discuss any side effects and timing of the doses with your prescribing doc. I hope this helps. Take care.
