clinic Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 (edited) Ever since i started prozac, i have started to wake up middle of the night to eat something ? Is there any solution to this ? Edited March 11, 2017 by clinic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 Just want to say I empathize. I have the same problem, but don't have a solution to it yet. For me though I am not sure if it is the prozac. It is probable though. I've never thought about that. When do you take the prozac? If at night, maybe switch it to the morning? So you'll maybe eat during the day as usual, and then hopefully not wake up to eat night (because you took it in the morning? FWIW ... I just googled "prozac waking up middle of night eating" and I did not see any article about prozac and eating in the middle of the night. NOT saying that it doesn't happen to you, just saying that I couldn't find anything when I googled that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
notloki Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I would take Prozac in the morning as it can be stimulating and, given its' long half life, could interfere with sleep if taken at night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan77 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 I take prozac 40mg in the morning. Sometimes I forget to take my morning medication and take it with my night medication and my sleep is definitely affected. So now if it is past 3 or 4pm and l have forgotten to take them I just don't. I know it is not ideal but at least my sleep is not affected.

jt07 Posted March 11, 2017 Share Posted March 11, 2017 How long have you been taking the Prozac? SSRI insomnia is not an uncommon start-up effect, but it usually goes away in the first month or so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have already taken prozac for 2 years, I had been waking up every single day middle of the night for those 2 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
