Can prozac make you hyper?

At one time, 26 years ago, I chose to go on Prozac, unsure of the amount, possibly 20mg as well. I was very depressed. I had just gone through a breakup, and I already was experiencing anxiety and depression. I am not real sure how long I was on the Prozac medication, however I never have had so much energy in my life. I was working out and I would talk and talk and I was running around and bounced off the walls. I liked the feeling of that, however, I took myself off the medication about 4 or 5 months later, and yes I am unsure of the length of time. I tried two or three other medications, and the last medication I used was Cymbalta. I liked this medication. Typically, I sleep between 8 and 12 hours a night.

Makes me talk more sometimes.i speak more what's on my mind.more energy.things dont bother me as much like cleaning or everyday life situations.but I did feel a littile numb like could not laugh but was not as depressed I dont get it?

You're happy, dancing, and skipping.

Sounds like your anti-depressant is working quite well.

I have been on 40 mg Prozac still tired low energy still . Will this change? On Prozac for not quite 4 weeks

That's what it did for me... except it freaked me out so much I I just sat on the couch and clutched a pillow.
Thought I was loosing my mind. It's made me nervous as hell and it's been 3/4 weeks on it.
Today, with a cold, I just felt like sleeping and have no motivation what so ever. But I'm told we won't know it really works till it hits the seven week mark. (Sigh) anxiety sucks.

hi sanger4life. Yes what you are feeling, going through is called hypomania. Hypomania is the opposite of depression. You have lots of energy, a high of sorts, rushing about, doing things and with seemingly endless energy. You'll need to keep an eye on it. Sometimes it will leave on its own accord, meaning the hypomania, if it doesn't you'll need to talk top your doctor and your dose most probably will have have to be adjusted. best wishes to you,

Sanger, I am curious if you have been on prozac before? Besides that,Prozac can have a number of side effects "Call your doctor at once if you have any new or worsening symptoms such as: mood or behavior changes,trouble sleeping, or if you feel impulsive, irritable, agitated, hostile, aggressive, restless, hyperactive (mentally or physically), more depressed, or have thoughts about suicide or hurting yourself."

Naturally the suicide one is common sense, but I believe few people know that Prozac can cause hyperactivity etc. If I were you I would err on the side of caution and give your doctor a quick call and just let him know what you are experiencing , he will probably tell you it is nothing , but at least you will feel better knowing you have rung him etc.

I hope you have a wonderful day.

Kind Regards.

Unfortunately Prozac could cause effects that you are facing, it has been reported as an rare side effect, maybe if its too uncomfortable, please seek medical advice, he/she could perhaps change your prescription.

Take care, best wishes!
