Hi Im taking prozac 6th week. Still feel anxiety and cant sleep that well. My doctor gave me amvien 10mg . last night was my first night tookit around 10pm woke up at 250 am couldn't go back to sleep after that. I thought it would help me sleep more. Has anyone been there before.
Hi there,
Sleeping issues are pretty common with Fluoxetine, I've been on them for nearly 3 weeks now and I've had some issues sleeping as well. It's a common side effect that does wear off in time. I still wake up around 3:30 and then have issues drifting off again.
Hi robert its frustating I have 3 kids under 18. I got four hours of sleep last night I guess its better than nothing. So I've heard of other's people experience they also get about 4 hours out of amvien.
Yes sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night and have to walk around. The only thing that helps me is 1/2 a Xanax pill. The Dr says the anxiety will go away eventually.
In my fifth week of Prozac insomnia now but it is maybe getting less severe.
I usually take 1/2 a Zopiclone twice. Once when I go to bed and then again when I wake up around 3am. Waiting to try Trazodone as have heard that is effective and it is non addictive too.
I’ve heard Trazadone helps people sleep through the night.
Hi Dom how do you manage with your insomnia.
It's my worst side effect by far Clay. Drives me nuts. At first I needed a tonne of meds to get any sleep but needed less last night. Have ordered Trazodone my self as scared of addictive stuff like Zopiclone, but for now ...
Can't wait to try it Stacey.
Think I sleep better if I have run for 40 minutes in the daytime, but have done nothing today.
Im taking. 5 of ativan twice a day. I was also taking it for sleep 1mg . but the doctor said ativan can cause more depression so he gave me amvien 10 mg. Which gave me about almost 5 hours of sleep. The same amount as the ativan. Im glad I dont use the ativan to sleep. Which was causing more depression.
I've been given Ativan too. It's called Lorazepam here. I didn't like the feeling on it so stopped it. My doc then gave me 2mg tablets of Diazepam instead just in case. I've used a few to relax but doc isn't clued up on Trazodone combo.
PS I go to sleep later now so that when I wake up it doesn't feel as early. Ridiculous solution I know 
I never tried anything else but lorazepam. My doctor doesn't even mention another option.
Yes Stacy its irritating.
Id say great solution.
I seem to sleep like 12-3 or 4 or so then wake up with anxiety. It’s not as bad as on the Zoloft though. It seems to be changing every day though, one day ok then bad the next day. Maybe it will level out eventually.
My Dr gave me Xanax, but only wants me taking .25 every other day at most.
Are you able to get some sleep after that.
Yes but I’m up for a while.
What dose of Prozac are you on Clay?
I am now on week 6. Sleep still terrible.
