these dreams...i cant handle these dreams!

i cant stand this anymore!!!!My vivid emotional dreams are back!!! ive always had vivid dreams but the last 2 weeks theyve been really bad.and i wake up with a horrible sore jaw from clenching my teeth. ive been on celexa for about 4 months now so i am surprised this is happening so late into the meds. i had this really bad when i was on them before but it was right away. i take my meds now when i wake up because when i took it before bed it was waking me up with terrible night sweats and addrenaline rushes. these dreams arent horror dreams just more like emotional dreams that effect my mood for the day once i wake up which in turn is affecting my ocd because im so emotional all day long! does anyone get this or knows how to curb it?

Can't help you but I had all your symptoms and after effects without being on meds at all. It all probably has to do with brain chemistry being shifted around. It went away eventually and will taper off for you as well I'm sure.

Re: these dreams...i cant handle these dreams!

Yes the over dreaming interferes with the rest of your day because the sleep stages are all messed up. Maybe too much REM sleep or something but there has to be a balance in the different cycles. If you have too much REM and not enough deep sleep (delta sleep) you will feel worn out and ruins the rest of your day. For me it made me a walking zombie till around 5pm when I'd start feeling better. It definately has to do with our brain chemicals being moved around in a different way than normal. I had night terrors in addition to the night sweats, adrenaline rushes, sleep paralysis along with hallucinations before falling asleep and waking up. I also had tingling hands and face, and clenched jaw like you. I think cortisol (stress hormones) levels has a lot to do with it. Like I said before eventually I think it will even out, it did for me.

Re: these dreams...i cant handle these dreams!

antidepressant meds are notorious for causing strong vivid dreams that seem to last all night
you could try swapping to another one

the jaw clenching and toothgrinding is common and a change of meds may help, wearing a football mouthguard sometimes helps ot a dentist can make up a splint

it helps if the jaw is prevented from overclosing
