Didn't know whether to put this in the medication section or bipolar but figured more bipolar people would see it here. I've been on Prozac at 20mg for about 6 months now, mostly by itself with diazepam when I need it. During this time I also started to slip pretty badly, got addicted to pain meds to 'numb' out all the feelings and my mind constantly racing.

Then I quit those meds 3 weeks ago and I'm back to feeling everything, not sleeping, agitated, depressed, basically fluctuating like crazy. I've been warned before that Prozac is bad for insomnia, and most nights I'm sleeping 3 hours if that.

I've been taking seroquel again, but the last time I was on it, it didn't seem to help much at all and made me a zombie. Now it only gives me a few hours sleep but helps my mood.

Kinda feels like I need to be off the Prozac, it's a pity depression is such a huge part of my cycling though sigh.
