I've been on 60mg Prozac since September. It took 9 months to find an antidepressant that would work for me (I even tried Parnate) - and Prozac was it!
Prozac gives me insomnia (I proved it one night by not taking my Sonata and staying up all night with a friend in the hospital. So I guess the insomnia does have some uses.). As long as I take my Sonata, I am fine.
It also gives me restless legs at night. I take Neurontin (300mg) at night and it takes care of the restless legs.
I haven't lost weight, but I haven't gained any, either.
I don't know if it contributes to the dry mouth - it may, but I take so many meds it is hard to isolate which causes what sometimes.
Overall, I'm just so happy to find something that does anything for the depression. These side effects are really minor for me.
Good Luck!
