I have been on fluoxetine for just over ten weeks, I am getting better, and can eat and sleep now, after weeks of hardly eating anything, Feel very sleepy in the morning at about 11am, I am taking the fluoxetine in a split dose, 1 at 8am and the other at noon.
I am nervous of swopping to the evening as it would mean going a day of not taking anything, Or about 15 hours, I don’t want to go backwards, any suggestions.

I of course I don't know what you should do. I take mine at night like my psychiatrist suggested (40 mg). I guess they make me sleepy because I sleep through the night(7 hours waking up at 4). Have you thought to ask your doctor?
I was only asking for any advise, and if anyone else had changed from morning to night, I wasn’t asking for anyone to tell me what to do, I can’t ask my GP you have to wait four weeks to have an appointment.
If someone had come back and said to me yes I changed from morning to night, then I would then contact the surgery and ask them to speak to a Doctor
You needn’t make an appointment to have a question answered. Simply call and ask to speak to a nurse, who would in turn speak to a doctor and then get back to you.
So what meds did you swop from morning to the night, I will contact the Doctor, because I am worried if I change it’s a whole day without any medication, and that worries me some what.
