A member asked:

Sleeping all the time and i'm on fluoxetine. is that why?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

May be, maybe not: Sedation could be a side effect of fluoxetine and can be dealt with changing the timing of medication timing. Sleepiness can also be due to worsening depression too, talk to your prescriber.
