Prozac and Insomnia

Last Friday I visited a psychiatrist for the first time and she recommended me to take Prozac, half a pill daily (10mg). I have seen a huge "improvement" in my mood, concentration and skin picking. However, I'm not sleeping well. I study Architecture, so I barely sleep, and I'm always tired. But since Saturday night, I can't sleep well. I called my doctor and she told me to take 1/4 pill (5mg), but I still feel with a lot of energy at this hour. How do you deal with it? Is there anything I can do to sleep better? Not exactly a medication, but this is driving me nuts

What time do you normally take your Prozac? If you take it at night, try taking first thing in the morning. I'm taking an SSRI and the pharmacist mentioned to me that sometimes this class of meds can have a stimulating effect when taken.

That effect should diminish in time. Yeah drop the dose and see what happens. Alankay
