I've been on 10mg Prozac for 9 days. I have researched and read others say they have a horrible time sleeping too. But most of you on here that have replied say that no problem sleeping with Prozac. I have had trouble sleeping before Prozac, but now it is like I LITERALLY have an alarm clock set for every 2 hours at night in my head. I am up exactly every 2 hours. I was up at 4:30 this morning until about 6:00. Idk what to do?! Will it go away? Or should I switch to a different med?.... I see my counselor tomorrow but Im not supposed to see my P-doc until the end of January!!! :(

I would ask about this at your appointment tomorrow...your therapist may be able to shed some light on this for you.

...if not, then get a call into your p-doc (prescribing doctor) to get some help in how to deal with this.

If all else fails...call your pharmacist. They are often pretty helpful with answering Rx questions.

I hope that you get the solution to this, so you can sleep soundly soon!

If the sleep is the only problem you are having on this medication , are you prescribed any kind of benzo? I would take that at night to help you sleep. I would say ask your therapist about that tomorrow as well. Other than that, is that the only problem you are having with the medication? Hope all is well!

I'm not taking Prozac, but just started Luvox (for OCD) 5 days ago, and I am having a horrible time trying to get any sleep. I have had insomnia issues before, but this is ridiculous. I can barely make it through the day, but then still can't sleep at night even though I am exhausted.

I don't see my MD until the end of the month. Think I may have to call him, or I don't know how I am going to function through all this.

Just wanted you to know you aren't alone!
