Oh man! The SSRI dreams started out scary--but last night something different for sure--and it was oh so real. Needless to say, I increased my dose today ;)

you so don't want to stop those dreams once they are the good kind. oh my god, I've had only bad dreams since trying my other meds, but back when I was an SSRI virgin and started with Celexa, I got the coolest dreams I ever had for a few weeks. Now when I start my new SSRIs they give me frightening nightmares.
But don't increase your dose unless your doctor tells you to. The dreams will last a few weeks or so.
Man, Vanilla Sky takes on a whole new meaning when you get vivid dreams... I wonder if the script writer was inspired by taking a psychoactive?
Think about it. The main character in it takes dozens of pills in a cocktail each night before he goes to sleep. Most psychoactives can cause vivid dreaming.

Well, I titrated to 40 mg Celexa yesterday (doc gave me the go-ahead) and was looking forward to some more beyond Imax X-rated dreams--no such luck.
Last night's big finale was me sitting at the dinner table, eating deep-fried gerbils and exclaiming, "Hey, it tastes like chicken!" Then I pointed to the serving platter, where another one was waiting to be consumed and remarked, "Look! You can see its little mouth." When I awoke, I started to laugh 'cause it was so friggin' outrageous.
No need to spend anymore money on David Lynch movies.

>Hey, I laughed out loud, and I'm a vegan who adopted 6 gerbils and love 'em to death. It's pretty funny, because it's twisted.
