It is always tough to know exactly what is going on. In my case I just suddenly pooped out. I had been running for an hour 5 days a week and then suddenly just couldn't do it anymore. Additionally, I was having other problems like muscle and joint pain, menstrual irregularities and some depression returning and I didn't even put together that it could be my medication. I went to an internal med specialist thinking it was thyroid or something and he ran every test under the sun on me including a brain MRI to rule out MS. All the tests came back normal and he just basically shrugged his shoulders and said that he didn't have a clue what was wrong with me. Out of sheer frustration I went back to my pdoc the next morning and he suggested that I drop the prozac and see what happened. We discussed adding a pstim at some point if my energy levels didn't come back up. It was while doing research on the pstims that I found out I was ADD. Bottom line of all this jibberish is that once I quit the prozac the muscle and joint pain went away and most of the lethargy and fatigue. I'm still kind of slow going in the morning and somewhat unmotivated but that may be part of the ADD.
