In reply to Nightmares + Meds are they Connected?, posted by Phillipa on December 2, 2013, at 9:19:02
i am beginning to believe that the 'cure' is worse than the disease...
i rarely remembered my dreams before i started meds. to be fair, i have read that many medications, not just psych meds, can cause 'vivid disturbing dreams.'
holy cow can they.
as i have been diminishing my meds my nightmares are less. my sleep is not as deep, but i am hoping that if i can get to 'med free' it will be interesting to see what happens with my dreams.
i do not have a partner. but, my roommate has heard me shout out in my sleep at times. never did this before. i also wake-up sometimes with my heart pounding.
also, i have read that depression itself can cause 'vivid and disturbing dreams' on it's own. lol catch-22 maybe?
sigh.
