> > I take 50 mg of Zoloft daily and since I began taking it, I have been having horrible dreams at night. Dreams of losing my family, of people being after me, wanting to do me harm, etc. Has anyone else experienced this? Also, I also have terrible headaches almost daily that nothing helps to make them go away. Is this related to something else? I really like the Zoloft, it has helped me with my depression, but the dreams are getting worse as the months go by.

> Heather,
> I also am on 50mg zoloft/day. I have always been a very vivid dreamer with an impressive recall, however, so I cannot say that the zoloft has increased my dreaming (or my memories of my dreams) or anything like that. I think, though, that the incidence of violent dreams has increased. My dreams have always been extremely weird, but I think the violence against people I love is more prominent. It doesn't disturb me that much, though - I guess because I am used to dreaming vividly.

> I got headaches and stomach upsets for the first few days. Now, my tummy is fine, and I get the occassional headache - but I couldn't say if this was because of the zoloft. How long have you been on the medication?

> Best wishes, RachThank you Rach. It does make me feel better to know that I am not alone. I have been on Zoloft since March I believe so it hasn't been too long. I will stick with it and see if the symptoms subside. If not, I will speak with my doctor again. Thanks again! Heather
