In fact, I don't have any experience with normal doses of Prozac, only with baby doses.
It is possible that the sleep disrupting properties of Prozac dissipate or disappear in the long term, but I would only expect the latter to happen after one or two years.
Luvox (fluvoxamine) is the SSRI that's most friendly for sleep, I think.
Your doc is right about OCD, not about depression. Depression could be lifted by low dose Prozac. OCD though usually needs high dose SRI. OCD is hard to beat with meds anyway.
