Any opinions as to the best time to take my Prozac 40mg? Morning, noon, or night? I also take Wellbutrin. Thanks.

Both Prozac and Wellbutrin have a stimulating effect so it is best to take in in the morning to give you energy than to take it at night and have trouble sleeping.

Dear, it sounds like you need to get off that crap, and get your life back! There is no reason in the world anyone should be on both of those meds at the same time. Are you a zombie yet? If not you will be. My wife was on those for a while, and it turned her into someone else!! Thank god she decided they were making her non productive, and it almost ruined our marriage, before she realized the Prozac was doing more harm than good. The wellbutrin wasn't as bad, and she took it for about 3 months at bedtime. She had to taper off of it though, or she would have really been a basket case. It may or may not do you like this, but you don't realize it until you are like a zombie, and can't get off the stuff. Any of that stuff like that might be ok to take for a short term, but what ever you do, DON'T stay on it long, or you will find yourself dependent on it. I do wish you well, and that you have a speedy recovery. Good Luck!

My husband takes Wellbutrin, and my son is on Prozac, and both of them take it in the morning because it tends to make them more awake and jittery. Some people, it makes them more drowsy, so they prefer to take it at night. It might be best to try it on the weekend and see if you feel more awake, or more tired, after taking the drug.
However, both are antidepressants, so check with your pharmacist about taking them at the same time, or spacing them out.

I take 30mg daily and I usually take them in the morning with a few other vitamins. I do this more as to keep a routine than whether it is the right time of the day or not.

I take my Prozac at night time.
Why do you take two anti-depressants?

I wouldn't take it at all. Get something else.
