Hey, everyone. Starting Prozac alongside Hydroxizine to help me sleep while I go through a bit of a time where I could use the emotional boost after getting wrecked by insomnia. Wanted to inquire because I'm entirely new to medications. I've already got a bead on some of the side effects and was told to take half a 20mg pill a day to help my body ease into it and depending on how I feel after two weeks, I can up the dose or keep taking it at 10mg .

Any tips on when I should take it and what to do if I start feeling icky? Hoping for good things since I plan to use this short term and I know the long half-life makes it very easy to taper off.
