      Well I was just curious if this could be the case with me. I'm currently taking medication for Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and ever since I've been on it, I can't seem to recall my dreams very well, if at all some times. I'm not quite sure if this has to do with the medication, but it seems like it is. I have stopped taking the medication for brief periods of time and my recall seems to improve alot. I was just curious if anyone else is taking antiety anxiety/anti depressant medication and is having the same issues. Or if anyone knows if that is even possible to be the cause.

      Lexepro is an SSRI.
      SSRI drugs like Lexapro, Prozac, Zoloft, and Pixel all work by selectively inhibiting serotonin re uptake (thus the name, S S R I), causing more serotonin to be available to neurons for transmitting and processing information.

      Being on an another SSRI myself has dramatically shot my recall. I have looked into SSRI's a lot.
      It seems the reaction is different in people.
      Hopefully you will have the same result as bro      !

      I took lexapro for a time and it gave me insomnia and I don't really remember dreaming much at the time. I think that the medication could be affecting you.
