Okay, another thing I'm contemplating is trying to take my Fluoxetine at night instead of the morning. I did this also when I was taking Cipralex (a.k.a. Lexapro/escitalopram) and it worked better for me, as if I'd take the Cipralex in the morning, I'd end up having to work my way through feeling sunken in below my eyes and really drowsy for a number of hours. So, I slept through those side effects when I took it at night. Bothersome side effects I'm still (after 4 weeks) having on the Fluoxetine: Lump in throat; feeling really cold after an hour of taking it for a few hours; aspirin taste in mouth that lasts most of the day; no appetite etc... When I first started taking it, I felt very drowsy and yawned a lot. So am thinking maybe I should give it a whirl and take it at night. Read differing opinions on this as well. Most sites say you should take it in the morning; a couple suggested taking it at night if you feel drowsy on it. It's strange, I feel both jittery & drowsy on it. Has anyone 'out there' ;-) taken Fluoxetine/Prozac at night instead of the morning; if so, why, and did that work better for you? Or anyone with an opinion/information about this particular question by all means feel free to share your insights -- very much appreciated!!! Annie B. (very curious as she wants to feel better as quickly as possible!!! )
