Post Body

I'm currently on day 11 of taking Prozac, and I'm not experiencing much change in mood yet (which I've been told is normal) but I'm having several intense side effects - I'm having intense and frightening nightmares, zero libido, and I'm sleeping around 14 hours a day (12 at night, usually need a 2 hour nap in the afternoon) when before I started Prozac I was good on 9 hours of sleep.

Do these side effects go away eventually? Should I stick it out? Anyone else having these side effects, and if so, did you stay on Prozac and was it worth it?
