Darwin,
I think I agree that prozac is probably not the AD for me. It makes me too tired! Thanks for your response. Jane> Prozac is not energizing for everyone. For me, Prozac was sedating. After 6 weeks on Prozac, my sleep time had increased from about 7 hours to 10 hours a day and I felt like a zombie when I was awake. So I quit Prozac.
