If i am on 20mg prozac a day, am i still allowed to smoke normal cigarettes (just tobacco)?
I should have asked my psych but i forgot to on the day

Does anybody know if its safe or if it will interfere with the medication?

There shouldn't be any interactions.  I've heard of nicotine reducing the strength of Luvox, which is also an SSRI...but to my knowledge it has no effect on Prozac.

It's something you should be asking your doctor unless you can find a doctor on here.
