Last time I went to the Psychiatrist he said I had insomnia and depression so he put me on Prozac and Seroquel and I stopped taking both because I was running out and I had no Health insurance to get any more..(I finally got the insurance now Im just waiting on the doctor list) Well the problem I have is I started taking the prozac again but I dont take it regularly b/c i tend to forget. I feel like I have no energy and I am always really exhausted no matter how much rest I actually get. But I cant seem to sleep....What the h♥♥♥ is wrong with me? Am I fatigued???

Imperialistic answered Monday December 4 2006, 4:15 am: I was on Prozac for a while and was really restless and drained but unable to sleep. My doctor told me that this was a common side-effect. Now I'm on Luvox and it's better for me.
Your case is different though.
I looked up Seroquel and it's used as a sedative. He probably gave you the Seroquel for the insomnia and Prozac for the depression. So the Seroquel would kind of cancel out the Prozac's adverse effects. But now you're only taking Prozac which doesn't do anything for your insomnia (if not make it worse) and takes away your energy.
So you should either start taking Seroquel again too (you never said whether this mix worked for you before your insurance ran out) or ask your doctor to switch you from Prozac to another drug. [ Imperialistic's advice column | Ask Imperialistic A Question ]
