I am on Wellbutrin, prozac, zyprexa and now remeron too. I was just taken off serzone because it did not help my insomnia. I haven't slept for more than one hour at a time for almost seven weeks. I am also supposed to be taking 4mg Ativan/day and temazepam (30mg) but I stopped all bezo's last Friday in hopes that my sleeping would improve. (I have been on benzo's for over two years).
These dreams are very vivid and seem to attach to all senses (I hope that makes sense).>
