Some of the common side effects of Prozac include:

  • upset stomach
  • constipation
  • headaches
  • anxiety
  • sleep problems (insomnia)

    Turmeric boosts your immune system and eases your digestive system –     all of which helps you get to sleep faster, sleep better, and wake up     feeling refreshed. Turmeric has also been found to lift depression more     effectively than any other conventional drugs

        The good effects of Turmeric:

  • reduces inflammation,
  • lowers your blood sugar levels
  • helps your liver to detoxify
