Fluoxetine and Sleepiness

2022-12-01 04:53:58
Can Fluoxetine cause sleepiness in daytime if taken in morning after breakfast ? Even though it is very unlikely as SSRIs are activating molecules, but did you notice any rare scenario of Fluoxetine induced sleepiness in your clinical practice ?

It is possible to experience sleepiness with Fluoxetine, however this is very uncommon. If you are facing sleepiness with Fluoxetine you can switch it to night dose.
