Day 12
Since my panic attack 3 days ago I have been very anxious. It mostly has affected my sleep. I toss and turn the entire night. First night I got one hour of sleep. Second night I got 4. Today is the third night. I tried taking a bath, listening to meditation, and will sleep about 30 minutes max every time I fall asleep. It is now 4:26 and Ive given up tossing and turning in bed. I am not sure what is causing this. I do feel tired and I want to sleep. Its such a huge change for me as I used to sleep about 12 hours per night. Im thinking the prozac increase may be giving me extra energy. Which is great but Id still like to sleep at night. Im able to take naps during the day. Today I took a 1.5 hour nap as I was exhausted. I also scheduled an appointment with a psychiatrist. They only had an opening on the 21st, and by then ill be almost 4 weeks of prozac increase. My therapist said that 4 weeks is usually when you start feeling the effects.

Hopefully it is just your body adjusting to the medication? Hang in there. I know how awful it feels not to sleep. At least by the time you see the psychiatrist, you\'ll know if the medication is effective or not, and they can switch you to something else if needed. Hugs
