Bad dreams can be awful and spoil the day when you wake.Hope you don't get them Phoenix, and that your tablets give you a lift.Have never taken tablets for depression, but know that years ago, my Father had cancer and took pain killing tabkets which gave him nightmares.

Many thanks for all your good wishes, they are appreciated.

Luckygirl I know that you have had a tough time getting it anywhere near "right", but hopefully you are now making progress.

I have my fingers and everything else crossed for you. I do hope that they do the trick for you.

I am having grim side effects from mine, but dread someone suggesting I stop them altogether in order to make a change, as I remember how bad I was - I do not want to go back there ever again!

Glad to hear that you bit the bullet phoenix and started to take your new tablets. It will be a couple of months before you notice any noticeable effect but fingers crossed.

Good for you Phoenix nothing ventured etc. You will get used to the dreams eventually but don't expect them to lessen. wine

I posted before about my reluctance to start taking my new anti depressants, mainly due to a dreadful experience with bad dreams the last time the tablets were changed, and bearing in mind that was one of the side effects mentioned in the leaflet with the new ones (along with everything else, many of which were the opposites of each other confused )

Anyway, I bit the bullet after 3 weeks of no tablets at all (and feeling myself starting to get quite low) and took the first one on Thursday morning.

Dreams ok so far, sleep a bit hit and miss, but then it has been for some time, a bit of an odd tummy but overall not as bad as I had feared.

Still early days, but at least I have taken the first step. I cannot fully explain the extent of my fear of the dreams, I know they are not real, but my god, they were awful!
