Sounds almost exactly like my experience. Hated mornings but became progressively more relaxed until I could chill out on the sofa in the evenings. I've been back on prozac for about six weeks now and the mornings have improved a lot. Still have a bit of trouble getting out of bed but I don't lie there dreading it anymore. Of course, I've never been a morning person anyway, so that probably doesn't help. You need to stick at it for 3-4 weeks to feel a real benefit, in my experience. Hope this helps.

Take care

Had exactly the same, though in my case it was about the journey to work. Things have got so much better because of the Fluo, but I still wouldn't say they're 100% perfect as sometimes I still feel a bit dizzy and sick like I did before. But I know I couldn't go out if it wasn't for these.

Good luck

I felt awful for the first 2-3 weeks, so tired and lots of side effects, but now a month in I feel alot better, it has definitly been worth going through the side effects to feel better, I feel back to my old self again! All I would say is whatever you do, just don't drink as it stops the drugs from working and makes you feel awful the next day!
