Does prozac help you sleep?

I recently had severe insomnia while starting Prozac. My doctor told me to switch my dose to early morning, and that solved the problem completely. Give it a few weeks for your body to adjust.

It actually kept me awake for the first few days, yaar! I was feeling so restless at night. My doc told me it's normal in the beginning, but definitely don't take it right before bedtime.

It might not directly cause sleep. Along with your medication, try eating a light vegetarian dinner at least 3 hours before bed and avoid caffeine. A warm glass of milk can also help soothe your nerves naturally.

Since it affects brain chemistry, sleep patterns can definitely change. To be safe, don't change your sleeping pills or medication timing on your own. Always get it checked and confirmed by your specialist.

When I was treated at Max Hospital, the psychiatrist clearly told me that Prozac can cause alertness in some and drowsiness in others. You must ask your doctor clearly about how to manage your specific sleep schedule.
