RE: Re: Dreaming and Lexapro

[Guest guest]

Could be and I hate to burst y'alls bubble <G> but the dreaming is a side effect

of Celexa and as Lexapro is a new version of Celexa it follows that alot of the

sides are similar.

I had the most vivid dreams while taking Celexa. I really miss that part. No bad

ones. Although some people report very vivid nightmares. I know that I was

worried about having a bad dream as the dreams I was having were so vivid it was

like being there....and not dreaming.

HI

you mentioned vivid dreams and perhaps trauma memories--are you awakening

with anxiety/panic

in the morning? I am, but then again I am still on such a low liquid

dosage. I can't rememeber the dreams, my therapist wants me to write them

down when I get up, but I can't because I don't rememebr or what is

resurfacing from my traumas.

Dana;

Rememebred a dream it had to do with money...awoke in terrable anxiety, and

had to get out

of bed and get going or else I would have stayed in it. I can't rememebr

the rest. This is the

first time I remembered a dream in a long time. I wish I had more of the

bits and pieces, but it's a start... Thanks for all your help.

I'll let you know what happens next..that is if I can remember more of my

dreams and start making connections.
