HI Michael,
I was on Prozac 20 mgs and had the same side effects, but they passed after a month. Perhaps you didn't give the drug long enough to settle down, I have done that with other ADs in the past, that is, come off them before they could even start to be effective becuase the initial side effects seemd too much. You really should talk to a doctor, perhaps try a different SSRI that has less side effects (I know people who have tried Prozac, got too sleepy, then tried Zoloft, for example, and not had any side effects at all. You could also think about taking your meds at night so the sedation effect is minimised during the day? I'm not an expert, suggest you work this out with a doctor. I think your local fa,mily doctor would have all the info you need - they do in Australia anytway, not sure about your system.
