Im on cipralex, which is the same thing, and when I first started taking it, I had very very few nightmares, but my dreams? became and still are very vivid.
I am seeing a new doc tomorrow and even though cipralex seems to work for me about 60% of the time, I might be change to another anti depressant as I have found the my anixety level on cipralex has gotten a bit worse, and I have been on it now for 7 months.

    My 6mo twin DD's are EBF and just started rice cereal on the first. Everything has been going fine except this morning one of them had a diaper rash (lots of redness around her anus). I read this as one of the signs of an allergy. BUT I did just buy a different brand diaper yesterday (which they have used randomly before w/no issues). Do you think its the cereal or the diaper? Im ready to start...
