Prozac Question?!
Question:
Prozac Question?
I have been taking Prozac(20mg) for six weeks now. For the past thirteen days I have been extremely exhausted, and I cannot get through the day without caffiene and/or a nap. Could this be a side effect of the Prozac? I know that it can make you drowsy, but I didn't realize drowsy meant feeling this tired. I'm pretty sure it can't be mono; I've had that before and the two don't compare. Thank you for any help you can give.

I took prozac for about a year and it helped but i had to adjust my dose about every 3 months. Eventually I just got off it completely after gaining 30 lbs and getting frusterated wth always having to adjust the doses. I also remember feeling extrmely tired to the point i had myself tested for thyroid problems! My dr suggested vitamin B12 in the mornings to help boost my energy. You need to talk to your dr about whats best fo you.
