> I've been on and off Prozac for years, and now
I'm back on it at 20mg. per day. I have had many
positive results other than the sweating and
strange dreams. I'm running away from things,
anxious, scared, seeing violence, seeing everyone
I've ever known, and when I wake up in the AM I
have to remind myself it was a dream (extremely
realistic).> This may seem like a minor side effect to many
in comparrison to major depression) but to someone
with anxiety like myself, its become an issue.
Anyone else with similiar dreams? Advice?
REPLY:When I took Prozac my dreams were so vivid and dramatic, I got up and typed them out on a typewriter. I was very anxious that they were so vivid and close to reality, and I was very shaken.
Also insomnia was a problem for me.I was advised to stop taking Prozac or to add Lithium with it. Impotence was horrible and I could not get an erection or ejaculate at all while on that medication. My libido was completely gone too.
