      Welbutrin making weird dreams

      I have just started looking into this after I spoke with a friend about how I have these strange and vivid dreams since starting Welbutrin to quit smoking. He then went on about his friend who had these 'lucid' dreams or whatever and now here I am, totally hooked.

      I was wondering if anyone else has the same experience I have, and 3 other members of my family, with Zyban/Welbutrin giving them intense vivd dreams? And is this a good thing for when I try to start having LD?

      I used to maybe remember 1 or 2 dreams a week. Last night I can remeber 3 almost movie length/like dreams.

      Thanks, and any suggestions to getting started would be appreciated. Is that book 'Lucid Dreaming in 30 days' worth anything? The title sounds like a trend diet scam.

      Yeah I used to take prozac, which is a different type of antidepressant I know, but I remember it giving me weird dreams too. AND significantly increasing my recall. My mom said the same thing when she was on it.

      My step-dad is a shrink, so I think I'll ask him about it later. Follow up to come...

      Perhaps I should have agreed to go on prosac when I was offered it.

      But the way I see it is depression kills recall, prosac makes you feel slightly better, perhaps it's a natural boost from losing the bad feelings?

      Maybe the absence of nicotene is the cause of your wierd dreams. If you have quite smoking.

      Also I thought that welbutrin was a drug called an SSRI (Selective Serotonin Reuptake inhibitors) which is said to hinder dream recall as much as 45 to 50%!?
      I know Prozac is an SSRI. But each individual is effected differently I guess.

      That is a good point!

      Prozac is an SSRI, but Welbutrin is not.
