A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bipolar 2 & Prozac (fluoxetine)?: Yes, Prozac (fluoxetine) can definitely do this. If "bp2" means "bipolar 2, " Prozac (fluoxetine) may be triggering a hypomanic episode manifest by all the increased energy and insomnia you have. Please contact your physician asap and tell him or her what you're experiencing. You may need to be on a mood stabilizing medication, rather than Prozac (fluoxetine) alone. Your doctor is the best one to determine this.
