A member asked:
I take 1 20 mg of fluoxetine and by the night it is wearing off should i take it twice a day?

No: Prozac (fluoxetine) has a long half life so you need only to take it once a day. You are taking a low dose so you may be needing a higher dose. Speak with your md he/she will know best if a dose increase is indicated.
