Fluoxetine and tiredness

How do people cope with the tiredness that comes with fluoxetine?

I originally started on 40mg in the morning and over the course of two years found a 20mg dose is enough to keep me stable and calm.

I still feel down and lack mojo but the main thing is the severe tiredness...needing a nap most days.

I'll add that I am pregnant. I stopped taking the drug for the first four months of pregnancy and turned into a suicidal lunatic.

So I can't live without the drug but I can't cope with the crippling tiredness.

Would I be better taking the drug at night or at lunch time? Sometimes I will wake up, take the fluoxetine and fall back asleep until 10-11am and STILL be tired Sad
