prozac has been a life changer so far for me, but i can’t sleep.

QUESTION

i’ve been on prozac for the last 3 months after being on numerous other ssri’s over the years and i’ve noticed the biggest difference being on it compared to others.

when i started taking it the first few weeks i couldn’t keep myself awake during the day like i would just crash because i was so tired, but at night i wouldn’t be able to stay asleep. the daytime sleepiness subsided which was just part of the adjustment period for me along with worse obsessive thoughts and headaches.

i have not slept through the night since starting this medicine tho and it’s very frustrating. i’m writing this right now as im trying to fall back asleep. does this mean prozac isn’t for me or should i wait it out a little longer?

i’d like to add i take 200mg of magnesium glycinate every night and cut off any caffeine consumption after 1pm
