In reply to Lexapro Bad Dreams???, posted by captain on June 16, 2004, at 9:18:03
I forget if it was Lexapro or Effexor that when going off of it, I got nightmares. I NEVER have nightmares either, so it was strange to have them.
I don't scare easily (or at all really), so my knightmares we're basically very disturbing.
I've been off those drugs for months now, and I'm back to 0 nightmares.> Ok, I am on day 10 of Lexapro - 10mg. And I must say that I am having some scary dreams people! What in the world! I used to dream happy things like getting engaged or just funny dreams - but last night I dreamt some insanely large yellow poisonous snake was trying to spit venom on me! haha - is this a possible side effect? I have read nothing about this in the lexapro literature - but I must say that it freaks me out a bit to know that if it does have something to do with it - that this medicine effects my brain that much! I just want to eliminate some anxiety with this drug - but maybe it is more than i need?
