i've been on prozac for 4 months now... i'm still having the "tired/fatigue" feeling all day. i yawn constantly, my body and mind feel exhausted. I do wake up in the middle of the night...maybe 2 or 3 times a night. But, fall right back asleep. Not sure what else to try. I went to the doctor and had a check up. they did blood work and found out i had walking pneumonia and gave me an antibiotic, but ive been off of that for a week now, so starting to think it is the prozac. The prozac helps with my anxiety so much though, i dont want to come off of it. is there anything i can try? I do drink coffee in the morning to wake me up a little. Thanks in advance

How were you feeling before the Prozac with regards to the "tired/fatigue" feelings?

I'm glad it's helping your anxiety. That's certainly a step in the right direction...

I never felt this way. I mean everynow and then I'd feel like taking a nap, but never have felt EXHAUSTED. :(

MM,

I gather you are taking your Prozac at bedtime?  A couple of things - look at having your Dr. reduce your dose a bit.  Take your Prozac earlier in the evening so the side effects wear off sooner the next morning.

Just having had pneumonia may still be causing your body to feel tired and exhausted. So take plenty of time and eat healthy to get back all your strength.

I am glad the medication is helping with your anxiety.

Kindly,

Kitt
