Do you get nightmares from your meds? I take Celexa?!
Question: Do you get nightmares from your meds!? I take Celexa!?
I was just wondering because I have these very vivid dreams at night and they are all very weird!. To me, it is like watching a movie through binoculars in a way, to describe it!. I am never a character in the dreams, just watching like a movie or tv show!. I find myself calling out or doing stuff in my sleep like grasping onto a pillow at times if I wake up!. I was wondering if anyone else has ever had this problem on Celexa or any other anti depressants!? I don't want off the meds if at all possible because I have success with them otherwise, besides this side effect!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

I have a similar problem and I take Lexapro!. Been on it a few months!.
Believe me, I love Lexapro, this drug has relieved me sooo very much of anxiety and panic attacks, and depression!.
But I have the wildest dreams ever! They feel so real!.But I don't wake up, like you do!.
The dreams I quickly forget( most of the time)!. But it's weird, because I almost feel like I have this other life, because the dreams are so realistic!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Dreams/Nightmares or "sleep disturbances" are a side effect with most anti depressants!.
I take anti psychotics but i get the same thing; vivid nightmares!. I asked my doctor about it and she said it was very common!. I too would much rather have the nightmares than the stuff i get when I'm off of them!. It's not always easy to find a medication that works for you, If that's the only side effect you have then thats great!.
