The ups and downs of Prozac
About six weeks ago I was prescribed 20mg of Fluoxetine (Prozac) daily for Chronic Depressive Disorder.
At first, it worked great. I had energy, I slept through the night and felt rested in the morning. I wasn't constantly depressed and had desire to do things. I even got my libido back. I still had minor depressive episodes, but they never lasted more than a day.
Now I only get a few hours of sleep a night, have completely lost my libido and even have EDD now, don't have the energy and drive I had, and generally feel "blah"...but I'm not depressed like I was.
Will this change as well? And how do I get back to the way I was the first few weeks of using this medication? :P

Ok, this *****. I now have my libido back, but "other" parts still aren't working. Should I look into ED medications? :P
