Side effects vary from one person to another, it's impossible to tell what side effects one gets from taking a specific medication, but they are usually common and are usually reported in the leaflet included with the packing of the medication. You should talk to your doctor if you are considering switching medications.

Should you skip taking your Prozac just for one night to avoid violent nightmares and be unafraid to sleep for once?

No, you should not skip taking your medication until you consult with the doctor who prescribed the Prozac OR ask your pharmacist. The pharmacist will be familiar with the side effects of the medication and how your prescription might interact with other medications you are taking. You can probably reach both doctor and pharmacist by phone, and you can visit the pharmacist without an appointment.

Should you be taking Prozac?

No. Quote from the Related Link: "Do not suddenly stop taking Prozac without checking with your doctor. Side effects may occur. They may include mental or mood changes, numbness or tingling of the skin, dizziness, confusion, headache, trouble sleeping, or unusual tiredness. You will be closely monitored when you start Prozac and whenever a change in dose is made." If you want to stop taking it, you need to TAPER the dosage down, in other words, take a bit less at a time, with a doctor's help.
