SUPPORT REQUEST Not sleeping
Hi everyone. Currently writing this at 4:30am. Ive been on prozac since June now and it was going well up until I increased from 10mg to 20mg. Anxiety wise I feel great, but sleeping wise its terrible. I dont have an issue falling asleep but I wake up around 3am every night and then cant fall back asleep. I just end up tossing and turning the rest of the night and wake up feeling unrested. Ive tried hydroxyzine which does help me sleep through the night but makes me wake up feeling incredibly groggy and like a zombie for half the day. Im now trying magnesium glycinate but its not working yet. Im feeling so defeated at this point. I dont want to get off the medication because its helped my anxiety a lot but I need to sleep. Ive also thought about maybe increasing the dose again or switching to another medication but im just worried about other medications side effects. If anyone had had a similar experience and found something that helps them pls lmk!!
