I have been taking fluoxetine for about 8 weeks now and although my anxiety and depression have subsided i feel very tired pretty much all the time. I don't sleep fantastically but i wouldnt say i sleep badly either. I'm usually in bed and asleep for 11pm and I'm up at 7am but i wake regularly through the night and often struggle to get back to sleep. I also have underactive thyroid so i do not go into the third stage of sleep (deep sleep). I am finding it such a struggle to come round in a morning, i am very lethargic and can't be bothered. I would even go as far as saying i feel depressed. I usually start to come round in the afternoon (which is a good job as i work evenings). I have a 2 year old son though and I don't have much motivation to take him many places these days (although i make up for it when i can). I am just so tired, I have never been much of a cat-napper during the day but these days I would gladly hop into bed for a few hours shut eye. My partner complains because our sex life is on thin ice but once in bed i just want to sleep has i am exhausted. I am begining to worry that there is something more sinister lurking behind my tiredness but i don't want to jump back on the train to health anxiety. I just wondered if anyone else on fluoxetine feels like this?
It is really starting to get me down and i feel as if i am going to become depressed again.
