Hi Chinarose,
Hey I know all about lucid dreams; have been having them for years. You might be happy to hear that post-Effexor, I've still had them frequently. To me, they are more of an annoyance. My dreams are usually very boring, especially the lucid ones. Every once in a while, though, I'll have some very fascinating types of dreams that leave long-lasting impressions on me. However, I used to be able to get into a state of deep meditation where my heart and breathing would be so slow they would almost stop. I haven't been able to do that since I started on psych drugs, which corresponded with a really bad relationship experience; it could be just a coincidence.
Thats great to hear you could take magnesium for your RLS rather than some whose doctors put them on Topomax. So there, something's looking up for you. Another thing going for you is that you have the financial ability to try all the treatments, especially the alternative ones that most insurance policies don't cover.
No, I haven't bothered to look into the lawsuits, but I already made my point about that (national security/politics). But yes, I understand that some PDocs don't tell you ANYTHING about the meds they are prescribing; it's happened to me probably 90% of the time. That is plain wrong. I'm not sure why it would be so difficult for PDocs to have files in their desk drawer/cabinet --one for each med--of copies of summary sheets providing general information for each drug and give the respective sheet to the patient to look at while going over the content with them.
You should read Bleauberry's post, below, about Lyme disease since you mentioned your symptoms have been consistent despite your treatment. Actually, more of us, I think, should pay attention to that possibility.
