Answers:
My girlfriend takes fluoxetine and she has the same problem!. At around 8 or 9 o' clock, she's so tired and exhausted even if she's done nothing all day!. She also takes risperidone at 9:30 which makes her even more tired, so she ends up fast asleep usually at 10 o' clock!.
It's good that you're getting more sleep, but when you've got things to do it's not ideal to be falling asleep too early!. Could you maybe try and change the time you take your tablet, so you take it later on in the evening!? My girlfriend found that a combination of eating healthily, keeping herself busy and taking a shower at the time she gets tired has helped her!. I think keeping yourself busy could keep your mind off the tiredness and having a shower might go to wake you up more!.
If it really becomes too much of a problem, I'd suggest discussing it with your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

fluoxetine are a member of the antidepressant called SSRI's!. The side effects are different for everybody and some people like yourself can feel tired a lot of the time whilst others have renewed energy and cannot sleep!.
The best thing you can do to start is to change the time you take your tablet!. I do not know what time you take it now, but try taking it later!. If you take it in the morning, try taking it early evening so as you go tired at the right time!.
Failing that, if you go back to the dr's he may be able to change the tablets to another antidepressant as different ones seem to suit different people, and the side effects maybe less!. Most side effects will diminish over time so if you have only recently started on them just give them a go for a while!.

firstly i am no doctor, however if you do a google search for this drug you will find loads of answers about side effects!. the general consensus is that one of them is insomnia!. therefore do not stop taking it, until you consult your doctor (as soon as possible)!. i know its not much of an answer!. but really its your gp you should be talking to!.

Are you taking your tablets in the am or pm!?
I take the tablets that make me sleepy at night time instead of in the mornings that way if they make me drowsy it's bedtime anyway!
Most of this type of tablet takes weeks to work properly and the side effects may wear off over time!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
