Citalopram Dreams

[Minotaur]

Does anyone else here have REALLY strange dreams on citalopram?

Since I've started taking it, my dreams have become really vivid and quite odd too, like I wake up in the morning and think "WTF??"

[bobbiwibble]

no, but when i was coming off it i had some pretty strange dreams :) i have very vivid dreams anyway
now i'm back on it the really weird dreams have stopped again

[l.e.g.o]

Oh no, I actually like it! Certainly makes my dreams more interesting anyway

I was just curious if anyone else had the same thing, that's all.

yep i got this! x

[xXMessedUpXx]

I used to get that when on Citalopram, but also got really bad nightmares too

[starnight]

I got it when I first started on it but eventually sort of calmed down

[justapuppetonastring]

Yeh i do! xx

[Breeze]

I do. I also do on anti d's.
They aren't normally scarey just really odd and bizare and yeah I wake up think wtf was that about!
I was putting slippers on the front door mat to stop the water coming in a few nights ago in dream!

I do. I had odd dreams before I started it, but they have definantly gotten stranger and stranger!

[Damnation.]

My dreams have always been really weird, even before I started the Citalopram. Although now that you've mentioned it, it might've been since I started it, that I've been dreaming about a certain bastard I want out of my head. Hmmmm...

I had them for a few weeks coming on to it, and now im coming off citalapram im getting them again!.

Hahaha for example last nights dream i was arguing with my old headteacher to why i was late for work - he was saying it was because of my imaginery boyfried and i was saying it was because id lost my feet >.<. Very vivid too!!!!

Hehe, yeah, think there are quite a few psych medications out there that can produce this side effect. Seroquel mixed with another drug I take does this for me...

I do, but mine are more nightmares rather then dreams. They are so vivid that i can remember every single detail down to the last minute. for example last night i felt i failed my gcse and i took a course how to fly but then i flew into my mum and killed her [my mums already dead] so it is very weird and then in court i said it wasn't me coz i didn't have hands i had lost them....
