    hi sean yes had some of these. had brain zaps on citalopram but prozac was just like warm flushed feeling. quite nice if you can relax into it. felt like the brain was being hotwired to work again. coming up to week 14 and feeling quite good last few days. still get tired though so doing lot less. doesnt help having a 2 year old who is up through the night but optimistic. good luck

      yea i've been feeling a bit tired as well, especially in the morning it can be hard to get out of bed sometimes. Still, it beats the insomnia i was getting at the start
