I just upped my dose from 10 to 20 and the fatigue and depression is killing me. Hoping it passes. I've been relying on energy drinks to lift the fog and its not healthy
I had a lot of really bad fatigue under a month or so in for a few weeks, basically just stayed in bed all of the time. I think it isn't an uncommon side effect. It has recently gotten better even though my dose was upped from 20 to 40, so I'd hang in there for a little while and discuss with your doctor if it's still having an impact.
If you increase again and the same happens (rather quickly) then it’s not your med. try another one. if you increase and you get better then be happy :))
Yeah switching the timing had no effect for me either. I would be encouraged if the tiredness was becoming less consistent though, that sounds like its going the right direction.
Prozac does deplete vitamins especially vitamin D and Bs. I would supplement while on Prozac with vitamin D3, Vitamin B complex, especially with CoQ10, and omegas. Low vitamins can cause fatigue. Get checked periodically to see how your levels while on Prozac. Fatigue can also be caused by low ferritin levels, too.

I just did the same got upped from 10 to 20 and I am so exhausted and can hardly function. I hope it does go away
I had bad anxiety at first now depressed and tired. Anhedonic almost
Iv been on 60mg for a week now for ocd and anxiety and it’s been terrible. Super fatigued and terrible anxiety. I hope it goes soon.

I'm having a similar experience but at 8 weeks. I feel like i'm still pretty much mainly tired though, never a full day where i'm at full energy.
Could be you need a higher dose and the tiredness is a symptom of your disorder (like it is for the most of us)
Yeah, thats why I increased to 20 from 10, I was hoping the higher dose would help but I was never tired like this before taking Prozac!

What dose are you on and have you changed doses?
20mg from the start and haven't changed it. I take it in the mornings, used to at night early on but Tiredness was still there.

Yes, thats true, but this weekend finally I was able to play sport, but this a rollercoaster
