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.
