My dreams are scarry and real. Do you think this could be the side effect of my meds?

I think so, I was on remeron for a couple months and if gave me the worst nightmares you can imagine. It was like a horror movie. They got so bad the fear of having another one would keep me from sleeping! I later found out that this was an actual side effect to that med. Some meds weren't worth taking to me because the side effect were just as much of a henderance as my actual conditon, or more!

I have been taking ambien for awhile and in the last couple of weeks the nightmares are bad. My husband tells me I talk in my sleep and will find me in the garage sleeping in my car. I can't sleep without it, so I don't want to go off of it.I was on xanax for sleeping but got hooked on it.

For most people with insomnia, our minds don't shut off when we are sleeping. Even when we are unconcious are minds are still racing with thoughts, this makes dreams so much more real and vivid when we are sleeping. I still have very vivid dreams with out taking any meds, but not as bad as with the remeron. Ambien is known to be a safer sleep aide, it's probably just a rough sleep patch.

I gave my 2 week notice last Friday 13th. Now to join you fine people in a life of leisure and nothing else to do but to look out for myself....is it just me or does that sound pretty boring? My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...
