Antidepressants side effects

The best time to take an antidepressant depends on the side effects you experience. Consider the common side effects of your medication, how it influences your quality of life, and what time of day it's most active.

How long should you stay on antidepressants for anxiety

For example, if your doctor has prescribed Prozac (fluoxetine), you might notice common side effects such as insomnia, agitation, nausea, and vomiting. If you are experiencing insomnia, take your medication in the morning.

If you have nausea, take it at night.

Not everyone experiences these effects; medications affect each person differently.
