Well, I just feel empty. Honestly, I have no clue. My dreams are straight-up revolting, and I wake up feeling hollow... then once I'm actually awake, the dread and the nausea just hit me full force.🤷
P.S.
Thanks for merging this thread; I couldn't find it myself.🙏
Thanks for the reply....I checked out the link....I'm definitely going to run this by my doctor to see what they think...but I can't help feeling like I might not be the only one dealing with this.
I’m not sure if this topic already exists on the forum—I did a quick search but didn't see anything (maybe I just missed it).
I wanted to know if anyone else here takes medication—for depression, anxiety, panic attacks, whatever—and if you deal with nightmares because of them.
This is coming from direct experience. For a few weeks now, I’ve been on three different types of meds for depression, calming down, and managing anxiety and panic attacks. I'm taking the mildest stuff possible—just half a pill in the morning for two kinds and half a pill at night for the third—but the nightmares are absolutely horrific. They are so disgusting, honestly, I can't even describe them properly.
For example, last night I dreamed an entire country was completely flooded and sharks were eating people... intestines were floating everywhere... some people who were still barely alive were pulling at me, begging for help... while I'm just swimming through this bloody water... it was unreal.🙄😢
These gruesome dreams follow me night after night. It's making me wonder if these pills are actually the cause. I'd love to hear what your experiences have been.
