I just started taking Prozac (20mg) last night...And it's made me extremely tired/sleepy/spacey. It sucks because while I'm almost always tired, this is different. Rather than being just tired, there's the sleepy factor and spaciness.

I know that these are common side effects, but I hate it...How long does this usually last?

So, it's not bad anymore. Actually, each day, I'm less tired than the one before...Except today, but that's because I only slept for maybe 5.5 hours last night since I was hanging out with a friend.

I'm thinking that this is good. I'm still not really sure that I want to be on meds...But, I did say I would give it a try, and actually, even just being more awake is something helpful.
