He is now having me take prozac 2x a day instead of once. I have hope...
He asked me if I was mentally stable and I said yes, just very tired.
He gave me a hug! That was a surprise! He is like 7ft. big guy I felt like a little kid or something. haha I am crossing my fingers, I hope this will help.

Hey thanks everyone! I know one thing, I am not sleeping anymore even when I want to. I couldn't get to sleep till 2am this morning. I am not taking naps, all within just a few days of being on it 2x a day instead of one. Is it that fast acting?
What is funny is that I still feel depressed, but yet I don't feel tied to nap away my life. So I am like, well what do I do now, I am so awake. But I don't feel like doing anything. lol It is crazy.

But.... if I can get my sleep back at night, I think this might be working for me because the extreme tiredness is what made me get to the doctor because I knew I was really depressed and the original dose wasn't working anymore..

Well I just talked to the pharmacist and he told me it is normal what I am feeling, and it could ago away with a few weeks on it's own. But he told me I could take my morning dose, and then 10 hours later take my 2nd dose , well I will try it I guess. He told me welcome to the world of antidepressants. lol
I think he might be right because 6 mo. when I started it I was taking the pill at night and had to switch to in the morning. I am just surpried, it is only day 3 of the double dose and I can tell a huge effect. I am not exhausted anymore. maybe I might feel like writing my paper or doing my housework soon. lol
