If you have got mixed low-energy *and* anxiety you might try adding a little nortripytline (10-30mg/day) to the Prozac. It will add to the anxiolytic effect of the Prozac and simultaneously increase your energy level and focus. You might need a blood draw (for the nortip.-the Prozac will boost the levels of NT). Wait a full two weeks for it to "kick-in". Just a suggestion you might bring up to your doctor if you are still feeling "tired" from the Prozac.Mitch
