You should feel immensely blessed that you have identified something that helps you and respect that with all of your might.
No one is more interested in your health than you. Find a way to take the med every day. The previous post had excellent suggestions.
If you have a cell phone set an alarm to go off at the same time every day reminding you it is time for a dose. Set some kind of alarm clock. Even if you already remember it is time, the alarm clock can kind of be like a companion saying, hey, don't skip this.
Write a journal on how bad you feel off of prozac. When it is time for your dose, open the pages and read it.
Imagine what life would be like if you returned to prozac after some time off and found to your dismay that it did not work anymore. That happens a lot in psychiatry. Go mess with a good thing and you might lose it completely.
