> No, i haven't started Adderall yet. My doc had suggested that i add Adderall to combat the fatigue/sluggishness i get from prozac. I'm also hoping that Adderall can offset any weight gain incurred by prozac.

They are known to aggravate existing depression.
I would think of trying some Provigil.
If this is something you experience more than just for while you adjust to the med, talk to your doc about exploring alternative meds, or doses, etc.
Also, keep in mind it may just be the depression making you sensitive to the Prozac's side-effects. Exercising, and talk-therapy, are important to follow.
