Tired on prozac

Posted , 4 users are following.

I've been on 40mg for 3 weeks and just now I am getting fatigue and tired in the day. Is this just a phase that will go? It seems to be improving.

    hello Valerieanne, yes it will certainly improve in time, maybe another 3 or 4 weeks, varies from person to person, you can fight it a little bit make yourself go for a nice walk perhaps, or if the weather is crap do'nt fight, grab a blanket and snuggle up with some nice music to relax smile

    I figured out that 8 hours after I take prozac I feel energy so I'm gonna take it at night

    At my doctors suggestion I have switched to taking it in the evening. I think this has helped a bit with the tiredness. It is hard to know whether the fatigue is caused by the tablets or by the depression and anxiety. I have found that generally my mood has improved over the last couple of weeks and I haven't had quite so many panic attacks. I believe they are really beginning to help me and would recommend sticking with it. The advice about getting out for a walk is really good, anything outdoors focuses you on the "now" moment and helps you feel physically rather than emotionally and mentally tired. I hope you start to feel better really soon x
