> Anyway, I felt dysphoric. Not sure if this is the correct term for feeling an aggravating energy - but at the same time, unable to do anything about it. Like stuck.

I couldn't take it anymore-I already quit the Prozac. And I had that brain fuzz. Should I risk suffering more and try a 5 mg. dose if 10 mg. affected me that much?I've been suffering from a similar "aggravating energy" on 10mg of generic Prozac. The severity and duration of the episodes of dysphoria did reduce after maybe 4 weeks.
I've found natural sedatives like lobelia or kava have taken the edge off it.
