Ok, this is clearly a bad week for medical stuff. Everyone I know has been having problems, myself included

My doctor told me that Lexapro can cause nightmares. As it turned out, my nightmares were caused by sleep apnea, but it's apparently a real side effect.

Good luck. Nightmares suck.

I've had daily headaches, almost low grade but still... and some not quite nightmares but not at all fun dreams the past month.

And i just noticed today that i forgot to put back the small gem yellow citrine crystal that i've always kept on my bed side table to ward off bad dreams* since cleaning up for the new heat system.
A month ago.

*that's one of its major *magical* properties that i've read since way back, not those new age attributions which i don't believe in.

I use a pure golden lemon yellow gem rough citrine, not those brownish points that you usually see.
It does seems to work, i never have nightmares :) I'll have to dig it out again...
Of course my apartment is full of protective dragons too, mostly jade. And ruby crystals and zuni fetishes...

*Hugs gently.* I hope you can fix the medic problem if that's indeed the cause of your nightmares. :(

Check your PI sheet, or you can check the PI sheet online. *snug*

It is a documented side effect, albeit one that only showed up in 3% of the test group.

I've had a similar problem. I don't know how long you've been on Lexapro, but sometimes the side effects taper off after 3-4 weeks. Mine did. It takes a bit for your body to adjust. Another option is to take it in the morning rather than night...

I've been on it for 2 months -- and I *do* take it at morning. That's one of the reasons I'm not sure if it really is the Lexapro or not.
