Question : hello, i take 20 mg. of generic prozac every 24 hours and nexum... about a week ago i got off schedule and started taking at 3pm every day... id like to get back on my normal schedule, would it be ok to take both medications now, about 5-6 hours ahead of schedule? so about 18 hours apart of doses rather than 24 hours apart... just so i can get back on my morning schedule? thanks

Brief Answer:
You can change schedule freely without side effects.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear, welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I read your query and here is my advice.

I think you are safe to take it at the schedule you want about 18 hours apart but continue to take it 24 hours apart as you arrange it
You may be sure that you are not going to have any side effects during this arrangement.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
