Insomnia is in fact a side effect of prozac....years ago I was on dothiapine....which were different.

The ADs can make symptoms worse before they get better sometimes.. when I had them they made me feel incredibly flat and emotionless.

It can be a symptom and it may be a side effect. How they know which is which I don't know. Was the mind racing happening before the tablets? I would imagine if its being aggravated by the meds it'll calm down then eventually stop when you are getting better don't really know though cos my brain is still rattling along at 19 to the dozen about 20 hours a day:o

Let me know how you get on Sally....you are doing the right thing, although sometimes it is really hard to admit that we are struggling. I know I hate feeling like this....I wouldn't tell anyone else either 'cept on here.....

My mind has really always raced away, but I found I always slept well. And almost always needed about 10 hours sleep a night. I do know that when I am stressed my sleep pattern suffers first....

The trouble is when you are around other people you kind of forget about your mind whirring and concentrate on other things. When you are awake so early and you are on your own it gives you so much time to think more and the scenarios that you think up are so much more 'imaginitive' shall we say.....

When my OH is stressed he mainly sleeps....we make a right pair...
