I've been taking my prozac every morning when I wake up for the past 3 months. i have seemed to really level out and haven't been Sui or anything lately. Today i Was late for work and completely forgot my prozac. I first got a headache around noon and quickly sank into a full blown depression where I'm now hysterical on the couch wanting to just end it all. Is it possible for this to be related with missing 1 dose or is it just a coincidence?

I don't know... I know that Prozac has a long half life so that even if you miss a dosage or two you probably won't experience any nasty withdrawal effects.
Thanks for this!

If you miss a prozac it ok ,it has 1 of the longest half lifes of any med and 10mg is a small dose. if you remember a couple of hours late then take the med, but if its been half a day take it the next day has normal.
