Question:
Y’all, aside from all the other little diddly things going on around here lately I haven’t been sleeping at night. I don’t know if it’s the Prozac, or what, but if I don’t get some rest soon, I’m going to be in some serious trouble. This sleep thing has been happening off and on since I started taking Prozac. Lately, it’s been much worse. I’m exhausted and I don’t know how much longer I can hold on before falling on my face. Y’all take care and don’t worry about me if you don’t see me posting for a while. I’m going to do what I have to do to take care of myself and get back up. Dazzy Deb Heaven Doesn’t Want Me, and Hell Is Afraid I’ll Take Over

According to my books on meds, Prozac can cause insomnia. I’d suggest talking to your doc about this. Getting little or no sleep is serious, especially if you’re driving! -Dave

Boy can I relate to what you are going through right now Deb. Sleep is something that seems to be a problem for many of us lately. Just remember you are still in my prayers. You are a great friend. We all need to take a break sometimes. So you take your time. We know that you’ll be back. We look forward to seeing you again. > Y’all take care and don’t worry about me if you don’t see me > posting for a while. I’m going to do what I have to do to take care of > myself and get back up.
Don’t you tell me not to worry Deb. Because I do. But I know that you will get better. We all will. Now don’t you work so hard and rest up some young lady. > Dazzy Deb > Heaven Doesn’t Want Me, and Hell Is Afraid I’ll Take Over
Take care my friend and keep smiling. Love ya, Paul

I’d gladly send you some of my sleep if I could, I managed over ten hours today, missed a lovely sunny (but cold) day, enmeshed in some extremely complex dreams. It *could* be a problem with the Prozac, see your pdoc and explain. I was getting lethargic through the day and not sleeping so well at night as the Paxil was wearing off, the Effexor increased the contrast between one state and the other. Sleep disorder of one sort or another is often a part of depression, apart from changing meds altogether, something to help you sleep might do the trick, but best get advice, off-the-shelf sleeping pills are usually antihistamines and while some are safe, others react with SSRIs. Of course the added helping of real world stress can’t exactly be helping. . . > Y’all take care and don’t worry about me if you don’t see me >posting for a while.

But we have to worry, it’s what we’re paid for. . . — — The brain in pain goes mainly down the drain
