Hi all. I'm currently taking generic Prozac (fluoxetine) in a low dose (20mg per day). I take it at night because I was getting some upper GI side effects that were really annoying (acid reflux, burping constantly, etc) and occurred anytime I drank or ate anything, including water. This has worked great, but it seems that lately I've been a bit more tired! I know MANY anti-anxiety meRAB or anti-depressants can make you tired, but I didn't feel so tired when I first started taking Prozac. It seems that it's been more and more lately rather than before. Is this possible to have such a delay after like 6 months or so? I would think it's typically the opposite... you feel tired and drowsy at first and then you get used to it. I've been on the same dose the entire time.
It's a shame because I really like Prozac, but lately I struggle to stay awake and feel like I have narcolepsy. I sleep a normal amount, but I'm constantly wanting naps, I feel drowsy/drugged up, and I feel like I'll just pass out at times from feeling so tired and out of it. It's starting to affect my life. I can't tell if this is the Prozac or something else, but I feel like this would be the FIRST thing to look into. I've had blood work done, but before I get more detailed work done, thought I'd ask others to see if anyone else has had this happen.
I just about never feel well rested! It's very hard for me to wake up. I can literally sleep a normal night's sleep, work, take a 3 hour nap after work in the evening, get up to go work out for about an hour, shower, and go right back to bed with no trouble and sleep through the night, yet still be tired in the morning. Most people I know can't fall asleep after such a long nap or right after working out, but I can ALWAYS fall asleep so easily! I've also been a lot more forgetful! ANy help or advice would be greatly appreciated
