    Hi Susan

    All perfectly normal side effects.  Issues with your eyes and vision will disappear over the next few weeks.  Hang on in there and you will come out the other side in a matter of weeks x

    Hello, I've been on Prozac now for about 6 weeks and feel extemely tired a lot of the time. 60mg dosage. Taken at bedtime. I also take abilify 15mg. Will the tiredness go away? It's so annoying! I feel sluggish and all I want to do is sleep.
