Thread: Question about medicines and its effects on dreams

Hi
I was wondering what you can tell me about anti-depressants and how they effect the dream ability.

I have lots of trouble remembering dreams and often feel like i have had none at all. I take anti-depressants on a very low dosage and I'm wondering if this is a problem.

I do remember dreams occasionally but this will fade fast or occur at random times of the day like the afternoon at work or some other inconvienent time where i can not devote my full attention to it and often this destroys the reliability of the reccollection as when i find the time to write it down or think over it the gap in time has skewed them memory too much.

Any help would be useful, I have much work to do in the realms of dreams...many reoccurring dreams to sort out and many questions to find answers too...

Thank you for your help

i use to take them, i found i had really crazy dreams. but found it harder to remember them later... but the anti-d's i were on made me..like hell ditzy andlight headed all the time.and id forget things while i was tlkin about them and stuff.. i was also on a real low dosage, those stupid things also gave me panic attacks,

Most medicines suppress REM-sleep, making vivid dreams highly unlikely. That's the short answer. I'd love to elaborate on this, but I've to go now.
