Hi, just wondering if anyone can help me. I have been on ADs for many years, more recently for anxiety rather than depression. I saw a psychiatrist recently as my anxiety was getting worse, and he recommended a change from mirtazapine to Prozac. This was rough to start with as expected - however I did start to feel better after a while. The problem I have since finishing the mirtazapine is very severe insomnia, which I understand is a side effect of prozac. Just wondering if anyone else has had this and whether it went away after a while or was long term? I would like to stick with the prozac if possible as I do feel it's helping me. I'm really reluctant to go back on the mirtazapine as it's only since stopping it that I realise how much it was affecting my energy and clarity of thought. However I can't cope with not sleeping!
Any experiences/advice gratefully received - TIA.
