> > Since I started taking effexor, I've been haved a series of incredibly vivid and strange dreams. Is anyone else experiencing this too? It seems like I'm in a constant dream state when asleep. I guess that's due to not sleeping deeply. The weirdest one yet was about talking to cheetahs and eating live eels.

> I too have had vivid dreams since I have been on effexor. My dr. put me on a sleeping pill, too, to counteract that. It makes me sleep more deeply so I don't remember the dreams as well, which is fine by me!
>I had completely bizarre and very real-seeming dreams when I was on Effexor XR. And sometimes I felt like I was not quite awake when I was awake, and could not distinguish between being awake and being asleep, like my waking life was also one of those dreams. From what I've heard, I think it's a common side effect of Effexor.
