This started off as a response to JudithC about stopping meds and dreams, but it seemed to spin off into an entirely different subject area.
I'm new here so I'm not sure.I take paxil and synthroid--and don't want to stop the paxil until there is something the docs tell me is "safer" or doesn't have the few side effects I experience. I think of the paxil in the same way as the synthroid: I could live without them, but I wouldn't have as much fun.
Funny about the dream thing, though. I never used to remember my dreams, but since taking paxil, I have these action dreams--I'm running after buses to rescue someone, or fighting off the bad guys who are beating up a friend. And I move around and shout out in my sleep, sometimes waking myself, often waking my husband. Last month I flung myself out of bed, thinking I was doing a sideways flip from one room to another to make a rescue. You should know this is hysterically funny because I am 57 years old, under 5 feet tall and almost that wide.
But I actually enjoy these dreams. I have all kinds of adventures I would never have come close to having. Has this kind of thing happened to anyone else?
