> I have plenty of stress in my life, but it sure doesn't feel like the dreams help me deal with it, they just make it worse. It just would be so nice to have some time in my life, day or night, when I'm not in pain.... Cecilia

I do feel for you... but if you've ever read "Brave New World", sometimes a pill and a theoretical utopian society goes a bit too far... psychotherapy can also deal with this. Although I would love some real Soma for my back. I know this isn't terribly helpful.


For the short term its curious Restoril doesn't stop the dreaming because its an incredibly powerful hypnotic that grogs you through the next day enough to need a load of ibuprofen and caffeine at least for me anyhow -- perhaps the dose isnt high enough, I dont know.


And I can tell you that, because I'm not benzodiazepine naive, i.e. I take already a fairly substantial load of benzodiazepines and the partial contents of a very low dose capsule are instantly sleep inducing -- NOT that I suggest you break capsules unless told so -- DONT -- follow your doctors orders.


But I would seriously consider pursuing other avenues other than medication for this because I think that there are possibly subconscious thoughts that provoke these things beyond the range of medications -- ask your doctor.
