Fluoxetine (prozac), poor sleep, herbal supplements?
    #19372106 - 01/05/14 10:07 AM (10 years, 26 days ago)

This is for my workmate who was prescribed prozac around a month ago. The doctor has her on 20mg, and will possibly up it and/or change it.

Now she is not depressed, just slightly overwhelmed sometimes. She's 22 and has an old head on her shoulders. She is a chef and has been in the same job for three years so I reckon a change of scenery is what she needs. She has a stable relationship and everybody loves her. Her family life is cool and there are no triggers.

The problem is she can't sleep at night/ has night tremors due to the tablets.

We've chatted and she's ok with herself mentally - she'd like to see if she can get the dose lowered. The doctor is a family doctor and has the whole family are on prozac due to some hereditary imbalance or something (whatever).

Are there any herbal supplements or methods she could take for sleep?

I have been on countless anti - D's myself in the recent past and have told her to start excersizing, eating right and all of the other things.

Oil of evening primrose is a one I always suggest, but obviously I don't know her body chemistry so not sure how effective it would be.

Sorry for the long post, but I would hate to see her go down the route of being put on tons of tablets for no reason, when it could just be a lifestyle change that is needed, or just a holiday or something. I am the only person she knows who has really any good and bad experience of anti-depressants and want to make sure she knows the dangers of it, as her family don't know any different.

Many thanks :peace:

There are two over the counter sleep supliments that come to mind right away for me, the first being melatonin and the second valerian.
Valerian is personally the one that I like to use but I have friends that swear by melatonin.
Another thing that should help a great deal more than anything else that I can think of is weed.
Although that might be a bit more difficult for her living in the UK, than it would be for me here in Colorado.

Exercise makes sleeping a lot easier.
