yes your meds are causing vivid dreams..it is a symptom..I have them too..getting used to it now..My mom just went on an anti depressant is also experiencing this..she knows from me its a symptom..cheers
I am on Wllbutrin 150mg 1x a day and I have been having the crazies dreams and nightmares waking me up multiple times a night and I almost have to remind myself sometimes they are just dreams. It has been over a month now and my dreams are every night. Some interesting LOL but most scary and some seem so real I still feel like I am dreaming when I wake up :( The DR says this is a normal side effect and call her if it does not get better or I can no longer handle the dreams every night. What time of day are you taking your wellbutrin? I normally take it with dinner as it makes me dizzy sometimes, but if I forget and take it before bed my dreams are worse. Hope you find relief soon!!
From one fiction writer to another!
hahaha, i didn't think of that,
not to toot my own horn, but i am a rather talented short story writer. thanks for the idea!
Wellbutrin is for depression, and can be stimulating and thus exacerbate anxiety in those who suffer from anxiety. Buspar is said to do nothing much, so I would guess the wellbutrin is more to blame. However, that being said, if you're feeling good on the Wellbutrin, vivid dreams aren't necessarily a bad thing. It's the brain's way of getting rid of detritus and working out some things. As long as you don't feel like acting out such thoughts when you're awake, you could just enjoy the dreams and write them down; could be the beginning of a satisfying writing hobby.
