What's the best time to take prozac (fluoxetine)? morning. afternoon. before bed? starting 1st dose & rather not feel any side affects if any. rather not panic too

Prozac (fluoxetine): Prozac (fluoxetine) is believed to be more activating antidepressant. The majority of doctors recommend to take it in the morning hours. That said, some people feel like it helps them to sleep better. You can try taking it in the morning, if it makes you feels sleepy or tired, switch it to bedtime.

Any time : I tell my patients to start by taking it in the morning. If that makes them tired they can take it in the evening. If that keeps them awake they may divide the dose in half and take half in the morning and half at night. Best wishes.
