Hi Phillipa, how are you? I actually had the same reaction when i first started prozac almost 5 years ago,
at 20 mgs. i was waking at 4 a.m. and running 7 miles, then doing things around the house all day,
i know my pdoc was slightly concerned, but it leveled off after 5 month's, then at 30 mgs. i never felt so tired, [1 year into my prozac expeirence].
now well in to year 4 I am still walking and working part-time, but i feel a need to nap every afternoon, and i'm not yet 40, so i don't think it is age, lol. I really feel a paradoxical effect at this point, but i fear going off prozac altogether, although i wish i had my early energy back.
i hope to wean on to something natural, or even just take low dose serzone or tofranil,
i think after awhile ssri's build up in the system, or at least mine. have you read "Prozac Backlash" by dr. Glen Mullen [I hope i got his name correct] it is very interesting, and discusses paradoxical effects in long term ssri users.
sorry to be so long-winded,lol, your friend...john
