Go Ask Alice Posted June 11, 2015 Share Posted June 11, 2015 Is this normal?I've been on it about a week now, and they've started me at 20mg. I was also put on Latuda and Xanax, but since I was getting so tired I tried taking them at different times of days and it's right after I take the prozac. Is this normal? Does it go away? Or are me and prozac just incompatible? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
melissaw72 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 Do you think it might be the xanax that is making you tired as opposed to the prozac? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mim Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I take 40mg of generic Prozac, and haven't noticed any tiredness, but I do know it's listed as a side effect. My pnurse warned me that it might either activate me or tire me out. In my experience, all the side effects that have cropped up with my fluoxetine have subsided. If you can stand it, my personal suggestion is that you give the dose a couple weeks to stabilize. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's only been a few days, and I know they take quite a while to take effect. My next appointment with the pdoc is in a month so I'm sure that's enough time to figure out whether or not it's permanant. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan77 Posted June 12, 2015 Share Posted June 12, 2015 I am on 40mg of Prozac and it doesn't make me tired at all. I take it in the morning because if I take it at night time it disrupts my sleep.Hope it goes well for you. It has really helped my depression. In time the tiredness should wear off and hopefully you will feel the benefits of it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
