Hello! Thanks so
Much for checking in. I am so far 🤞doing better and have been sleeping 6-7 hrs per night on the Prozac. I am going into week 6 on Prozac 20mg. Most nights I don’t need any sleep
Stuff which has been frankly a miracle. Maybe once a week if that. I even had one 16 night stretch with no sleep meds using sleep restriction window of 6 hrs. How are you??

@ancl123 Oh I'm SO glad to hear that! That's amazing! I'm still figuring things out. I felt better for a bit on 10 mg of Lexapro but then tried to go up a little bit for mood support and things blew up a bit again sleep and activation/symptom-wise. Definitely seems to be a kindling response from what I've read about where the body can become overly sensitized to a medication. Might end up having to switch meds like you did. I am getting more sleep thank goodness without meds and just with 2 mg of melatonin but was waking up at first early with the dose change. So glad to hear you're doing better! Very hopeful! Are your mood symtpoms doing ok on Prozac as well?
