I started Prozac again  a little over a week ago (was on it for 6 years before last year). And I take it in the morning. It’s 3 am and im still awake. Is this normal??

      morning Dom,

      my bf came over last night ( i dont think he wanted me to go to a party last night lol) and he my sister and i just did new years here and watched its a wonderful life. gosh i love that movie so much. then this morning i tried to keep busy, we ate breakfast and bf just now left.

      I am so sorry to hear your feeling you back tract, this is why i wished you could do 40. but increases do cause side effects. what all are you feeling? irritated and depressed? sound normal but doesnt feel great. 

      do you think you will go back to 20? maybe 20/40? medicine is great but it sure does cause us problems before it increases our seratonin. 

      i am feeling just ehh ok. not great but just ok. less panic for sure especially around others which i guess is better but today i feel more tense and anxious i feel it in my back, neck and stomach.

      how did new years go??

      how do you feel now? please let me know.

      Hello Tina,

      That is great news about your feelings of panic! Looks like you're good to go on 30mg. Did you sleep okay?

      I wasn't great on NYE. Had a headache and felt grumpy. Now today I feel anxious and it is my worst day for a while. Problem is if I go back to 20 I have already upset the balance of Prozac by having 40 for two days. I don't know what to do sad

      So you glad you are feeling better. Now I need to catch up with you.

      Hey Dom,

      I felt bleh this whole evening. Anxiety kept peeking. I took meds in hopes to help. Getting sleepy but still feel nauseous. Anyway. Gonna try to sleep right now. 

      Let me know how your morning goes. Rooting for you!
