I am on my 3rd week of 40mg Fluoxetine and am a total Zombie. All I do is sleep. Fatique is dibilitating. Feedback please!!!!

Yup! Did the same for me & I was only on 20 mgs! It DOES get better. It’s still early for you. I had to drink a lot of coffee to stay awake. Some days better than others. Hang in there! The extreme fatigue will go away. Your body & brain are still adjusting to it.

I was worried about the fatigue when I started the medication, so I take it at night before bed and I sleep like a baby!!! Maybe try that.

Yes! That’s what I did too.

I tried taking it at night but it didn’t help. How long before you felt better ?

I took about 6 weeks before I started to feel better, and one morning I woke up and felt completely new
