Been taking 30 mg Prozac for 3 weeks.  No change in depression.  Sleep most of the time.  Is this normal?

    Hi there.  I can't speak to the depression, I take mine before bedtime and I get the best nights sleep.  I use to take melatonin to fall asleep, but since I started the prozac 2 months ago I don't have to take it anymore.

      you are so welcome, it does get better.  I remember people telling me that when I was having my initial side effects and never thought it would be possible to "get better", but I took it a day at a time.
