I have problems with Prozac and Zoloft keeping me awake at nite, and what happens more often-I keep waking up/falling off over and over and I never get rested enough and like you I am dragging the next day. You might benefit from a single dose of Neurontin at bedtime (say 300mg). If you sleep better (I do), then you will have more energy the next day.good luck,
Mitch
