Two weeks in taking prozac, and honestly, I started taking it cause I really do want to get better. I don’t want to feel like shit anymore, I want to change things. I want to read, paint, run. And I try to, but I am so damn tired all the time. It feels like my energy is gone. The meds won’t help. Every day I come home from school I just want to sleep. I don’t want to do anything anymore. I just feel so numb. I can’t be happy, I can’t be sad. It’s just fucked up. I really want to get better. I do. But how can I, when I am so done with everything? I am so tired. I just want to sleep, and sleep and sleep. My energy, and my will to do things is is completely gone, and I don’t know how to change that. I picked up my book today, and after reading 50 pages I slept for 2 hours. And then, I was gonna study, but I just sat in the sofa instead, not doing anything. Staring at my phone. What do I do? It feels like I am doing something so wrong, cause I should be able to stay awake a whole day and do stuff right? That’s what normal people do. So, what am I doing wrong?

Meds made me worse. I did stuff before but after pills I was like you and could only sleep. Off of pills and in still permanently damaged from the dose.
I took Prozac a long time ago and it made me feel anxious. Was taken off it.
There are a lot of horror stories about meds. I would read reviews on med review sites.
I was given 1 monthly injection of invega and 3 monthly injections of seroquel. I didn’t realize it at the time because I was too wonky from the med, but I weight myself after the third shot and I had gained around 45 pounds in three months.
First of all, school is very draining mentally. When I was in High School and College I used to nap
a lot. In college I would look forward to my nap times. There was an article in the University new paper about how some students really plan nap time. Caffeine—taken in coffee, tea or in
pills ( No Doz as example ) I would use to wake up. Never tried Prozac, so can’t say one way or another if it helps. I hope this helps and best of luck!!
