Prozac and Lamictal making me tired?

Anyone else on Prozac (or lamictal...or both like me) and just feel *endlessly* tired? I feel like I get up and do one thing and I'm already exhausted for the day. Like I'm talking this super deep heavy feeling of sleepiness.

My boyfriend is so concerned that I sleep a lot. I have to take pre-workout just to make myself go to the gym or if be sleeping on the equipment. Currently taking 40mg and thinking I can lower it since I quit my soul killing job

I’m in the same boat, my room mate is always worried by how much she’ll find me asleep. Lowering the dosage definitely helped me, I can’t even use caffeine because of my migraines

I'm on Fluoxetine 20mg and I stopped 2 days because I had NO energy even to shower.

I take Prozac and that's never caused drowsiness for me. I added topiramate and that can make me pretty loopy.

I take Prozac and I feel more awake than I did on my old meds.

I take flouxetine for anxiety and it keeps my emotions balanced and helps me from overthinking too much.

Yes yes yes! I’ll be fully alert and working and take a 2 min break and almost fall asleep because my body just tries to shut down

I’m on both as well and I feel the same way. I’m constantly napping or wanting to nap and nothings really helps

I take it and can't sleep. It's like my body and mind are exhausted but my nervous system won't calm down.
