[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 480203, member: 1233"] How long have you been on prozac? It may not have been in your system long enough to help. I know it takes at least 3-4 weeks to make a noticeable difference in me, and the improvement is gradual and NOT sudden. I don't like any medication that suddenly changes my mood - can't stand that feeling. It sounds like a combination of things causing the exhaustion. Stress is the big one. What has worked in the past as far as handling stress? Have you ever done guided meditation? Sounds silly to many, and I used to think so too, but it can be HUGELY helpful. I tend to fall asleep during the meditations, often quite fast, but they still help. Not sure why, but they really do. I have used them since before I married husband - he had a ton of them on cassette and they mostly still work. Try a B vitamin supplement. either a mix of different B vitamins or just the sublingual one which is B12, sometimes B12 with B6 and folic acid. They are super helpful with energy. They actually give a far healthier type of energy boost than caffeine. They are in most of the energy drinks so if you use those or 5 hr energy, don't take any extra. Be aware, B12 will turn your pee bright yellow - this is normal. Are you paying attention to your sleep hygeine? Only sleeping in bed, not staying in bed all day on the weekends, if you can't sleep then get up and go do something other than just lay there (not your problem, I know, but still part of good sleep hygeine), etc???? You can google sleep hygeine and get the list of good ahbits. They truly do help. [/QUOTE]
