Hey there
I am a young male currently on 40mg of Prozak and 75mg of Effexor. I have noticed that ever since I was put on a higher level of Prozak that I am constantly tired. This has affected my training (weights, core, cardio) and sex life. Looking for any advice as I don't want this side effects to affect me this way. Help....

Talk to your pharmacist to see if this is a side effect of the meds. Then call your doctor and discuss your options. Good luck

I am on 20mg of Prozac, down from 40mg because the higher dose left me feeling physically exhausted. My pdoc told me that can be a side effect of Prozac. He explained that because Prozac can be activating, it in turn can leave you feeling spent, especially if taking it with another med that is also activating (I am also on Aderral). Do you see a psychiatrist?

If the adjustment is recent, then you may just be getting acclimated to the new dose, and this may go away.
