I'm also on Prozac and it seems to be helping. It keeps me more leveled out. I actually think this is going to be the med for me. My worst side effect is extreme drowsiness. I'm also being treated for extreme anxiety/panic disorder with Xanax. So it seems like EVERYTHING makes me sleepy. My days are all foggy but it's better than what it was before.
I understand these side effects don't last long....

What I really wanted to comment on is the caffeine addiction. I was told by my doc to cut out caffeine. I'm like yeah cut my arm off too while you're at it. I am a fiend. I've been cutting back, but it seems to make me even more drowsy. It stinks but hopefully it will get better. I'm supplementing the few sodas I drink now with juices and (ick!) water. So I can completely relate with the anxiety that comes with stopping drinking it.

Hope things continue to look up for you !

Take Care.
