In reply to Drugs that suppress dreaming?, posted by TomV on September 7, 2000, at 15:08:27
> I have read about drugs that suppress dreaming on this board before, namely MAOIs. My question is, are there any others? I dream constantly and it really keeps me from getting a good nights sleep. And no, my dreams are not a reaction to any meds I'm taking (they are the byproduct of the work I've done in therapy). I dream regardless if I take meds or not.

> Any ideas?Tom V., I think Effexor-XR suppresses REM sleep...I usually have very vivid, complex, interesting, lucid dreams...however, on Effexor-XR, I feel tired in the morning and notice that I hardly ever recall any dreams. Serzone, however, allowed me to enjoy the dreams (I like sleeping and dreaming!). James is right that you will go nuts if you don't dream (I'm getting there!!!).
