Does anyone else have excessive drowsiness on the SSRIs?
Whats the strongest OVER-THE-COUNTER stimulant or herb available to increase wakefulness?? I take Caffeine tablets but they don't really help. I don't want to get on the heavy stimulants such as Amphetamines / Ritalin etc. if I can help it.
I've been on a about 4 different SSRIs and each makes me really drowsy, especially Seroxat - that was the worst!
I'm on Prozac at the moment, and even that is making me really drowsy during the day, all I want to do during the day is sleep. So when night comes I'm not tired because I've slept in the day!
I'm going to start taking my 20mg Prozac at night and see if that helps.
Still any suggestions on stimulants would be helpful!
