My doc recently switched me from 50 mg of zoloft to 20 mg of prozac which I take in the am. Since I have started (1 week ago) I cannot sleep for the life of me. Usually, 2.5 mg of zyprexa knocks me out for the night but this hasn't been working. He increased to 5 mg at night and it is still not touching the insomnia. I end up taking 10 mg of ambien to get to sleep.
What has been your experience with prozac induced insomnia? Will it subside after a few weeks? If I lower to 10 mg, will this dosage still have a therapeutic effect? I am BP II with my moods shifting from "normal" to depression....never any mania although since starting prozac, have felt a little more energy than usual.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Nicole
