ehygon Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Well, with my current combo ( duralith 300mg, remeron 15mg), there is freaky sleep action going on. Like, I can go to bed, get to sleep, and I'll dream about something. Then I wake up, turn over, and sleep again, immediately going back to the dream. I can do the wake up -> dream thing 5 plus times, every single night. It's not overly bothersome, (sometimes its fun!) except I think it might be why I'm having such a hard time remembering things in school, based on nothing, haha. thoughts?

Bianca Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 I had a similar thing happen when I started Cymbalta and then added the WB as well. They were also so vivid that a few times I woke up with tears running down my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LikeMinded Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 It's called repeated episodes of REM (without any deep sleep). I do it as well, coming off Cymbalta, though my entire night is spent doing that and I wake up tens of times a night soaked in sweat. Thanks to massive amounts of a GABA-based "health supplement" and 0.5mg Klonopin before bedtime, that's no more (only awaken 2-3 times per night now, which has been the norm for me ever since I can remember, and less frequent dreaming as well). Come off any other meds recently? That could be part of the problem. And yea, your lack of deep sleep is probably why you're so forgetful. Though no matter how much deep sleep I get... still can't remember... oh, where my keys, wallet, cell phone, and right hand are.

~nestling~ Posted February 5, 2006 Share Posted February 5, 2006 I'm on remeron and efexor - both of which intensify my already vivid dreams. Thankfully I know my dream language and so can keep track...... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like, I could probably tell you what happened in a book i read at 12 years old, and I can't remember what i read the night before. The First; I'm off all meds now I'm taking a three week vacation, and hoping I'll go on the ups again and clobber my schoolwork. but shh, its a secret, hahaha. I can feel one coming already, I noticed it when I decided "I should be a phone sex operator along side class, that would be awesome!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatsgoingon Posted February 21, 2006 Share Posted February 21, 2006 Me too. Courtesy of Tegretol. Only problem is my dreams are really vivid, violent and frightening. It's definately the Tegretol for me as the same thing happened when I was on Tegretol monotherapy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
