I just wanted to say that I have had horrific nightmares on my effexor xr, 150 mg per day. I also did with prozac. My dr put me on 1 mg of xanex at night and during the day for anxiety and it has helped tremendously! I can't believe the nightmares that I have, everynight, constant, and wow! Afraid to sleep without my xanex although after a year I am afraid I am building a tolerance up to it because the nightmares are coming back and fast. taking two pills now to be rid of them. Good luck! Don't know whats up with the dreams but have read that they can be a side effect. :( Hugs! Snowdancer*
