      fluoxetine is very similar, its an ssri. Falling asleep is probably my favourite part of the day, although it can take a while. I wake up a few times in the night as well snd have quite weird dreams. Whats urs like?

      alot of people say they cant sleep at first, i guess u just need to wait until the side effects decrease.
