Sorry, I didn't mean "wow" like I was impressed or shocked—don't take it the wrong way. I truly am sorry you're dealing with all of that.

I feel like a total zombie this morning... honestly, this insomnia has been dragging on for about six weeks now. I think it’s just all the built-up stress finally catching up to me. I’ve even been knocking back liters of chamomile tea every single night, just praying it'll actually help me drift off for once.

The 10 mg dose isn't really doing much for me... honestly, I've been cutting my pills in half lately because the thought of getting hooked just terrifies me. But 30 mg? Wow. That would probably knock me sideways too. I keep thinking I just need the ADHD meds to actually kick in and do their job... fingers crossed!

So, I just got diagnosed with mild anxiety and depression, along with a tendency toward physical symptoms. My doctor put me on Prozac, and I’m five days in. My biggest issue by far is insomnia. Honestly, I feel a bit better already—though I doubt it's the medication since it's still so early—but the sleep issues are still hitting me hard. I tried taking Lunesta at 10 mg, but it doesn't really do much for me. Xanax helps more, but I know I can't rely on that long-term because of the addiction risk. I haven't had any other side effects, so I'm wondering: is it possible the insomnia is being caused by the Prozac, or does the antidepressant just need more time to settle in? Last night, for instance, my heart started racing out of nowhere in the middle of the night, and I couldn't get back to sleep for ages. Has anyone else dealt with this? During the day, I'm doing okay, but this damn insomnia is the main struggle. 🙂I'm honestly terrified I'll never get back to a normal sleep schedule. 😲
