Hi guys, been a long time I didn't come here :P But I wanted to talk about dreams on SSRI. I started to take Sertraline because I have some anxiety in public and since I started that shit I have some fucking awesome realistic dreams. It's so real that I can remember them, I can tell you I dreamed I had a bag of pre-rolled joints and in the morning when I woke up I tried to find them... I remember that I was at school and then OTAN soldiers came, I was killing them with an RPG and then I drank beers in my favourite bar, or I was in a garden, in Britain, naked with monkeys. There are also some other weird dreams I've got but every night is a new story, and I love that. I have heard that those dreams are a common side-effect of SSRIs like Sertraline. But lot of people say that they are nightmares, I don't really find them horrifics... but really funny. I want to know if you experienced those vivid dreams too, like me, if you were (or are) on SSRIs. Tell also your dreams, if you remember any, it could be fun :).
SSRI never affected my dreams, if you want more dreams like that you could actualy do some training for it, but many say that weed ruin your recall. Once i managed to decide when i could lucid dream, i was lying on my back at around 6 am, told myself that i would lucid dream over and over again, untill i started to see weird colour and voice, though, wich was my mother telling me to fuck off, but i know it was not real so i didnt bothered to open my eye and ruin everything, couple second later i got sucked into a lucid dream, i was on a schoolyard and i decided to spawn a dirtbike and got awayt with it, then i dont remember, my recall level was still too low.
so you lose your ability to dream while awake with psychedelics, but gain the ability to remember your natural dreams vividly.
how how are the politics going louc?
Fck Brah, I don't think I remember vivid dreams. But I do remember me doin acid and tons of drugs while coming off of SSRIs. bad business, i think it's called serotonin deficiency disorder or some stuff like that. You bet I was having some crazy dreams after that. Crazy everything actually.

I've had sporadic lucid dreams after taking some St. John's Wort, some OTC SSRI herb. Was the best time i've ever had in my entire life. For some reason it's not working now though.
My girlfriend used to take sertraline and used to get really vivid dreams. She hated them
When i was on SSRI's (Prozac) I didn't notice any difference in my dreams. And i dip in alot to lucid dreaming, so i would remember if it did or not, lol.
As far as I know, dreams can become more vivid on all antidepressants. I take Mirtzapine which is a fairly unusual antidepressant but it DEFINITELY gives me vivid dreams. My hynagogia arrive much earlier and are more intense. I have taken Sertraline, but it did not cause this feeling in me however, there are many rare side effects from antidepressants due to the fact our brains are hugely varied.
