It's interesting that you mention the dreams. I am finally seeing outstanding results on the 20 mgs dose (been two weeks straight of feeling like I have my life back). I have noticed that I am having much more vivid dreams more frequently, and remembering them in the morning. Has anyone else noticed changes in dream patterns?

> I haven't had any sexual side effects that I have noticed, was a little sleepy at first, but that has worn off as I have continued. The best part is, I feel like my world has, literally, opened up for me again. I told my doctor that I almost felt that my peripheral vision had improved, because I feel like I literally see more now! I think that I was so emotionally "tunnel visioned" that it was limiting my life!

> The best part for me has been the effect on my sleeping. I sleep better and sounder than I have in years!! And I dream again!! Not bad dreams, not particularly vivid- though more vivid than before. But, I wake up and actually feel rested!! What a great thing- to get 8 hours of sleep and actually feel like it!!
