Hi boopsie,

My sister had the reaction to prozac that you describe. She had a job as a house parent where her time off during the week was 4 hours during the day and she had to use the time to take a nap usually. Like you, prior to taking it, she had a lof of difficulty sleeping.

Unlike my sister and you (it sounds like), when I am depressed I sleep way too much. When I took prozac, I started to have trouble sleeping!!!

My pdoc subsequently added trazodone so I could sleep at night.(now trazadone and prozac are a forbidden combination for anyone as it was determined to cause heart problems.)

Take care,

Meta
