Problems staying asleep - Sleep Disorders Message Board

I have never had sleep problems until I started taking Prozac a few monthes back. Now I cant stay asleep for the life of me. I wake up 20 to 30 times a night. I tried Trazadone and had insane side effects, then Ambien and that only keeps me asleep the first few hours. Dont want to stop taking Prozac, the good effects far out way the bad. Im just so tired. Can anyone recommend a med that will keep me asleep? Id really appreciate it.

Have you tried over-the-counter Melatonin?

I take 20 mg prozac in the morning also and take 1 x Zopiclone 7.5mg at night and sleep like a baby but do wake early in the morning. You might try taking the prozac in the morning ??? Good luck.
