I can't make myself do anything except what absolutely needs to be done (work, drive kids, etc) yet I feel like I want to do something huge and earth shattering. wtf is going on? Could all this be from one stupid little 20mg pill? If so then that pisses me off and makes me want to just go for it and stop taking all of them.

Well, ozzy... yes, it could be the medication. I know if I forget to take one dose of my med. I begin to feel terrible. It may not seem as though this should be such a problem for you... but you've cut your dosage in half. So percentage wise, it's a fairly big decrease. But, really, this is something you should discuss with your prescribing physician. In addition to this, though, the other thing that may be going on here, at the same time, is you're experiencing feelings you had prior to going on Prozac that had become unfamiliar since you've been on it.
I know how you feel about wanting to just stop the med's altogether. But this would not be a good idea. You'll just feel even worse than you do already! Here again, consult your pdoc. S/he is the expert with regard to these things...
