Insomnia because of Prozac, does magnesium help?

3 Replies

Since dose was upped to 20mg it’s getting harder to fall asleep, and I wake up around 3 am and just lie awake. No anxiety or anything, just awake. Has anybody tried magnesium and did it help? Also, does this side effect go away?

Thx

Side effect eventually goes away..try melatonin too usually takes week.or 2 ask your doctor for something to help you sleep for the short term because going without sleep will make you miserable

Thank you. Need to find different melatonin, the one I have causes lots of sour stomach acid.

I used the magnesium and did sleep very well....
