Thread: 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!

I've got little to no knowledge when it comes to drugs, but I'd like to welcome you to DV anyway! I hope that being here will help you to become master over your night-reality Feel free to ask if you have any questions.

Prozac is an SSRI, but Welbutrin is not.
