> definitely feeling better from 20 mg/4 weeks on prozac. i hope the stability lasts! i have had a few minor problems from the side effects, specifically the heartburn and sleep problems and less so, the yawning and memory issues "did i just take my pill?". i know everyone here has been around the block a few times with different meds - any suggestions i can take to my primary care physician?

> thanks!I was on Prozac for years, and yes the reflux/heartburn can really get bad. You could try adding some famotidine (Pepcid) or something similar about an hour before you go to bed and stay away from food 3-4 hrs before you go to sleep. The lessened reflux might help you sleep better. You could also try the new lower-dose 200microgram melatonin at bedtime as well. You could try both of these first before you go see your GP.
