It is going okay. Just started Saturday, and I will take 20 mg. this morning (Tuesday). No lightheadedness and no suicidal ideation as there was on Trintillix. Insomnia continues, but I don’t believe it is the Prozac, but the after effects/half-life of the Trintillix. Slept 101/2 hours Sunday night, maybe 3-4 on Monday. Seeing the doctor Thursday.

I slept 8 hours last night. I took 1mg of Klonopin, in addition to my regular dose, and all is fine. The Prozac is working. I am not depressed. I'm just damn tired, and I am seeing the doctor tomorrow to have him address the sleep issue. The transition to Prozac has been nearly flawless, save the sleep issues, some of which I blame on the residual of Trintillix. Not by job to practice pharmacy or psychiatry, but the insomnia has been an issue. Took my wife to a movie and dinner last evening, after being up all night the night before, and taking a short nap, and I felt great. Brain chemistry is a puzzle, and I'll let those whose life's work it is to assist. Fortunately, my physician/psychiatrist is as much a friend as a doctor. Always helps to have an ally instead of an adversary.
