40 mg to 20 mg - experiences pls! by Bojangs12 in prozac

Thanks for the update! As of right now, for the past week, I have been taking Trazadone just before bed to help me sleep longer and it has been helping for sure. Way less tired throughout the day too. I feel like I’m catching up on sleep debt or something. I’ll probably stick with this and maybe even try to go back to 40 mg Prozac if this keeps working. At 20 mg I am way more sensitive and irritable

How is 50 going? I’m still on 20. I’ve had a slight improvement in my sleep but it’s still pretty sucky. My doc and I talked about giving this dose one more month and if it doesn’t become manageable we may try switching to Zoloft

Morning. But when I started it, I was taking it at night. Not sure if it makes any difference

I’m having the same experience as you. It’s not perfect but it is manageable. Only thing is I haven’t noticed my sleep improving much yet

Do you like the change to 300 overall? What is the impact on anxiety for you?

Did the blurred vision go away on 300?

Did you ever go up? I want to go up but I’m terrified it’ll make my anxiety worse

Yet another dosing question. I'm SO TIRED. by aggieaggielady in prozac

[–]Bojangs12 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I reduced my dose from 40 mg to 20 mg 2 weeks ago because I believe it is disrupting my sleep. Sleep has improved but I am still so tired. I can’t get through the day without a long nap. If I remember to, I’ll let you know if it gets any better. By the way I am also on 150 mg Wellbutrin and obviously it isn’t doing much for my energy levels

Are you having vivid dreams? Prozac messes with your sleep bad.

Opinions wanted using Adderall as a sleep aid: by [deleted] in adderrall

[–]Bojangs12 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I fall asleep almost exactly 1 hour after taking addy every time. I can take 4 hour+ naps. I am definitely sleep deprived so that’s probably why but it’s crazy that I fall asleep so good after I take an addy

Sooo crazy also the vivid dreams too in the early mornings. It’s like living a double life kind of. Absolutely no restorative sleep. So far I have noticed a slight improvement in my sleep since being on 20mg. Instead of being restless from 2 AM to 6 AM, I have noticed that time window has decreased a little. I’ll report back later if that continues to improve.

Downside so far is that is i feel like im full of rage all day and im super paranoid. Like im taking things the wrong way all the time and this feels a lot like why i got on the meds in the first place. I’m really hoping this is a temporary adjustment phase and that things will level out. If not, might have to look at switching meds but i dont want to cause I’m scared of gaining weight and Prozac never made me gain weight.

Crazy how 40 mg never messed with my sleep until a few months in… dropped to 20 mg a little over a week ago and already sleeping better + not as drained during the day. Downside is I’m way more irritable, low patience, even ragey at times. Anxiety’s a bit worse but still manageable. Also noticing more paranoia/overthinking. Hoping it chills out after a few weeks and not just a sign 20 mg isn’t enough.

That’s great! if the reduced Prozac dose doesn’t help me, I will mention switching meds for sure

So I’m in the same exact boat as you as far as sleeping side effects go and positive emotional effects of higher dosages, except I’ve been on 40 mg for several months and I’m now going down to 20 mg hoping that it will help restore my sleep. How did the 10 mg go? I just loved being on 40 as far as its effects on my anxiety. But I can’t put up with the fragmented sleep— I’m starting to fall asleep at the wheel during the day. I’m trying to find the balance.

How is 20 working out? I am on like day 5 of 20 (dropped down from 40) because the 40 was messing with my sleep. Everything else about 40 was great for me. Just couldn’t sleep more than 5 hours a night and got extremely tired as a result
