I was prescribed Prozac by my doc because of Depression. While I was on it (I just got off), I experienced very vivid dreams, or as my doc dubs them, "nightmares." Apparently a "nightmare" is an overly vivid dream- it doesn't have to be bad or scary. I had dreams that were so incredibly vivid that I will certainly miss being on Prozac. I would have dreams that had ongoing story-lines (I similarly dubbed them "Story Dreams") that seemed to "time lapse" over several days and sometimes weeks. In these dreams I was lucid sometimes, but most of the time it was sort of like a movie and things somehow hopped from one scene to the next. The plots were full of detail and actually made sense as one event led up to the next. I once had such a dream where I was in a high school in a theatre, program and made a few friends, and enemies as well. In one scene, we were in the auditorium rehearsing and chatting. In another scene, it was the next day and we were outside at lunch where I was invited to sit at my friends' table. In different scene, I completely told some guy off while in my home kitchen. I'm not sure what that scene was about, but I remember when I got really steamed and started yelling at this guy, taunting him to "try me," everyone else's voices became fuzzy and drowned out. It's as if I became so enraged that I had a strange moment where all I could hear and feel was that momentary anger. It's hard to explain. Anyway, there was another dream where I would actually kill myself (I've been dealing with a grueling depression for over a year now) very vividly. I'm not going to describe it, but it was reoccurring and much more vivid while on Prozac.

Does anyone else have similar experiences while on Prozac?
