Question: Prozac insomnia?I have been on Prozac for a week now and continue having insomnia. I am up all night...but still can manage to get through the day...I am tired but somehow have energy. I t's almost like I had a cup of coffee before going to bed. I do take the Prozac first thing in the morning. I did try benadryl last night..it helped me fall asleep quickly but I don't feel rested..like I didn't sleep.I was wondering if anyone tried Valerian Root with Prozac? The valerian root always helped me fall asleep but I am afraid to mix it with the prozac. Help
Answer: Prozac should be taken in the mornings not at night. The side effects in the first fortnight can give you insomnia as well but they soon pass. Else i would talk to your doc maybe it's not the best SSRI for you! Try Celexa maybe. I take them and said it was like taking speed at first, but after a month that had totally past! I also take benzos with it to help me sleep so you could try that but be warned benzos ARE addictive!
