I try to take mind at the same time every day. Monday through Friday is easy because I'm up earlier for work but Saturday & Sunday I do tend to take them a little later. By a couple hours.

Depends on the medication. What time did your prescribing MD say to take it?

How is Prozac working out for you? Do you take it for anxiety? Was it awful at first? Sometimes u think I should tell my doctor if I can try this.

Hi, it's actually working I have bad days still but nothing compare like before when I start thinking how I felt. I take it for anxiety. I just up my dose to 75mg when I get my monthly my anxiety peaks bad. It has been a journey in the beginning was like it was worst but lucky I had someone that was their for me walking me through it. This a battle but we can beat it

I took Prozac 10 mg for years then October 2015 I decided to quit Felt good for about 5 months have never been able to get my dose back to 10 mg I take thr liquid now small dose bad mistake I should have never stopped it's been hard to try to get back on it.I wish I had never stopped now I'm going through hell if you take start on a small dose then go up it worked for me for a long time good medicine. Prozac is a old drug I like that too it's been used a lot more .
