Serotonin syndrome worry

[adamden]

So I’m hopping on a flight this morning, and had to take my Prozac earlier than I normally do, 5:00am to be exact, rather than 9:00-9:30am, which is when I usually take it.

This won’t lead to serotonin syndrome right?

I’ll also add that the prescription bottle says to take one capsule daily. No time restriction in between each dose, just one 10mg capsule daily.

What is the dosage? I'd say if the bottle doesn't say time restriction or interval between taking the pills, it probably isn't something dangerous even if you accidentally take another on the same day. You just took it a few hours earlier than usual, so you will be fine. Enjoy the flight!

Dosage is 10mg, and hasn’t increased. There are no plans to increase it at all.

I just started my 10mg Prozac on Friday morning. I can't imagine that small of a dose could bring seratonin syndrome. Are you taking other stuff that would put you at risk?

Nope, just that.

Some people are prescribed up to a maximum of 80mg per day so it seems it would be highly unlikely to have seratonin syndrome at such a low dose even if doubled. Of course make sure before you take any other medications i.e. cold or flu meds etc that they do not have a reaction with your medication. The interaction checker at drugs.com is a great resource for this. I always check this resource with any over the counter meda before taking them.
