I have been on Prozac for about 10 years off and on for social phobia, anxiety, mild depression. My regular internal med doc prescibed it for me on my suggestion and it works beautifully. Generally just 20 mg per day. I am a mom of three small kids and I just cannot tolerate the extreme fatigue it is causing! I actually stopped taking it in May and now my symptoms are returning as well as I have gained 10+ lbs since stopping. On it I need a 2 hour afternoon nap daily or I couldn't function. My life revolved around sleep.

So, now we have moved and I will be seeing a new internal med doc--i want to restart the Prozac and maybe add Provigil but do you think I will need to be be referred to a Psych? I am perfect on prozac minus the fatigue which is truly unbearable. Has anyone else has this problem and how was it handled? Thank you.
