I often have unpleasant and terrible dreams, which I believe is caused by the antipsychotic I am taking (amisulpride).
Many people say that Provigil (modafinil) makes them sleep better at night (when taken in the morning before). So I tried sdrafinil (modafinil's cousin) and have taken it for some days now. So far the dreams have stopped.
Amphetamines, Ritalin and benzos are REM suppressants, so they should work for this problem.
Tricyclics are also said to suppress REM.
I don't know about Seroquel, but Zyprexa made me have terrible dreams (and made me really, really depressed in the morning).
