some stuff from personal experience and also from reading about various antidepressants - when i was on prozac i had a lot of sleep disturbance. night sweats (although that went away in time) where i would be soaked in sweat in the middle of the night. also alot of night time awakenings. there have been a sleep study conducted that showed that prozac increased night time awakenings. the SSRI's in general sometimes at the beginning of treatment would cause insomnia and that theoretically should go away after a few weeks as your body adjusts to the medication, but the point is, increased night time awakenings or insomnia or sleep disturbance is not out of the ordinary with SSRIs (includes drugs such as prozac, zoloft, paxil, celexa)
