Which SSRI is known for being most activating, suggesting it should be taken in the AM?

  1. Fluoxetine

  2. Citalopram

  3. Escitalopram

  4. Paroxetine

The correct answer is: Fluoxetine

Unlike other SSRIs, Fluoxetine is known for its activating properties and may cause insomnia if taken too late in the day. B and C are incorrect options because they are not known for their activating properties. D is an incorrect option because Paroxetine in particular is known for causing drowsiness and is suggested to be taken at night.
