Is there a better time during the day to take my prozac? I take it around 1 PM.. Just wondering if morning is better.

I always take mine in the morning, I think it's more habit than anything else though

I'm 20mg and they have helped. How long have you been taking them? Did you say 14 days? You might well need to up them if they are having no effect yet

My mom took prozac years ago & started off at 20mg so she thinks 20 would be good for me..

But today is day 13.

& it's improved my mood (not a bitch anymore lol) but the anxious thoughts are still there.

It might be worth having something different for the anxiety symptoms too. I take a beta blocker to take the edge off my symptoms. I only take them in small doses and just when I need them. It's great they have improved your mood though. I hate feeling snappy and end up feeling guilty over that too lol :-)

I have seen you mention beta blockers & wrote them down on my list of what to ask my psychiatrist about! :)

& yea after starting the prozac I realized how mean I was.. I was always in denial about it before!

I'm trying out Xanax for the anxiety at .25 but I'm unsure if it's working at it's full potential..

I'm glad you're success from prozac! I love hearing that.
