Can Klonopin cause nightmares and very vivid dreams?

I have been having very bad nightmares and very vivid dreams for a couple days now. I have been on klonopin almost a month along with my limictal. I was wondering could the klonopin be causing the sleep disturbances....

I'm not sure but I remember when I was on Lamictal it caused disturbed sleep and nightmares. I've been on Klonopin 10 years and it actually helps adjust sleep. It would more likely be the Lamictal but speak to your psychiatrist about it. Unless the Lamictal is sedating perhaps you could ask them if the time when you take it could be adjusted so it was earlier so it would not interrupt sleep.

I have been on Klonopin for years and I don't have any problems with it.  It has helped with the nightmares actually

I have been taking Lamictal for years, but recently started taking Klonopin.  I started having vivid dreams/nightmares within 3 days.  I don't know if it's just the Klonopin, or if it's the mixture of the two medications.  I plan to ask my physician next week at my appointment.
