Frequently asked questions
When should I take Fludac 20 – morning or night?
Morning is usual, because fluoxetine can be activating and disturb sleep if taken late. If it makes you drowsy instead, your doctor may move it to the evening.
How long does Fludac 20 take to work?
Sleep and appetite often improve within 1 to 2 weeks, but mood usually takes 4 to 6 weeks. Do not judge it, or stop, before 4 weeks without talking to your doctor.
Can I take Fludac 20 with alcohol?
It is best avoided. Alcohol worsens depression and adds to drowsiness and dizziness.
Can I stop Flunil 20 once I feel better?
Not on your own. Stopping early is the commonest reason depression returns. Doctors usually continue for at least 6 months after recovery and then reduce slowly.
