<<< "It doesnt sound like a good thing. I have some weird dreams on my meds too but they dont bother me as much anymore.
I always am unprepared for a math test. I wrote an A in the final exam in real life yet i dream of this.
Does Brintellix help during the day?" >>>
Too soon to know if it's helping...
Sounds similar to my dreams.. I always dream I'm at work but haven't scanned in with my ID for 5 years and I'm trying to find a way to explain to my manager so I don't get fired. I wake up feeling exhausted. Seems I have had this dream every night since I retired 5 years ago. Now that I'm on Brintellix my dreams are like static. Like white noise of dreams. A clutter of thoughts and images overlapping.
I do miss the lucid erotic dreams I had with Fetzima and Cymbalta. A few times I didn't want to wake up.
I can't give an evaluation of Brintellix since I've only been on it 10 days at 10mg. I can say it doesn't feel sedating. I have had almost no nausea. Downside is I only sleep about 5-6 hrs a night. Haven't seen any beneficial effects at this point. I think I'm supposed to increase the dose to 20mg after a week but I've been reluctant to do so.
