There are no guarantees.well i guess i'm wondering if insomnia is a pretty common start-up side-effect with Prozac that's know to usually pass (in the same way SSRI start-up anxiety does), or if i was some kind of anomaly. i have a feeling my pdoc was just trying not to overload me with drugs (by adding a sleeping agent), since meditation was actually his first suggestion for me. if the prozac insomnia is transient, settling once the drug reaches a steady blood concentration, then it would be the drug i would return to first at this point.
