I was put on Prozac about 6 weeks ago as I was depressed.

My mood lifted fairly quickly - too quickly for my doctor to say that it was actually working.

I came off Prozac therefore and I am not depressed although my moods now fluctuate from very low to higher.

Thinkiing about it. I reckon that Prozacs side effect makes me feel better. - Im no longer depressed, thank goodness, but so so so so tired. My lightbox and exercise help, but I really am struggling and seem to be spending my whole day in front of my light or exercising or sleeping - particularly at the weekend.

I think Prozac worked for me because it stopped me sleeping so much. It gave me a life back. During a 2 week period, I did so much with the kids. Haloween, firework night, with was great. Normally its a terrible chore and I will do anything to get out of it.

Perhaps there is something else out there that can help me sleep less - legal that is!!

Hi me, it`s funny u sayings that, i`m nor of prozac but i`m on the next one up, but i have double do dose for the last 5 - 7days,cos i felt really down, and my lightbox has`nt arrived yet, but yesterday i worked all day but felt so tired, I sat laid on the settee at 7 and bu 1/4 past i was fast asleep, I woke up at nine and went stright to bed and didn`t wake again still 6.30 this a.m,which my partner wasn`t too happy about, but anyway I am going to see my doc tomorrow to see if she can confirm my if I may have sad, I am quite sure it is but i would feel better if she can, so that i have a reason 4 how I feel. Are you the lady who took up yoga, if you are, r u feeling better 4 it. I did it about 4 years ago and it was brilliant, I suddenly had some energy and my head was clearer, but the local council, help towards the cost, but then they stopped it, which is typical!, and now I either can`t find any in my area or they are too expensive.
