Weird Dreams (is it lexapro?)

Hi guys,
For the last few weeks i've had really weird dreams, sometimes good buy mostly nightmares, last night i had really nice dreams, i have about 5 or 6 a night that i can remember! I wanted to no if this is from the lexapro i just went on 3 weeks ago? or is it my anxiety? i have had anxiety for a very long time, about 3 years and extremely bad panic attacks and very very bad globulus hystercus, but never really had crazy dreams like this from any of that! These dreams are are like some crazy trip, not my normal dreams...

any thoughts?

I wrote  a few of them as short stories.  Try using your art to make something of them.  It's one of the few fun things about these meds.

Probably the Lexapro.  If it's helping, learn to love the dreams.  I had great dreams on Paxil, but I'm a writer, so I guess I don't mind vivid dreams as much as the next person.
