Prozac and Insomnia (Cont.)

Prozac and Insomnia: Summary

It is impossible for your healthcare provider to know beforehand whether you will develop insomnia while taking Prozac. Also, in some cases, if a person does develop insomnia, it is challenging to know whether these problems are actually caused by the condition or Prozac itself. This is because insomnia is common with a number of conditions that Prozac treats. For example, a number of people with depression report insomnia.
 
If you develop insomnia while taking Prozac, make sure to talk with your healthcare provider. There are other treatments that he or she may be able to recommend, including adjusting the Prozac dosage or trying another medicine.
