> Yes. I don't know how to help but I certainly understand your frustration.....I always thought I was just a total alien because I didn't "dream." Then, I realized I'm still an alien, and that not dreaming is one of the side effects I have to live with when I take SSRIs. Like loosing your sex dive, well, keep trying....
SSRIs aren't supposed to be nearly so bad for killing dreams (so to speak!) as MAOIs; quite a lot of people say they have vivid dreams on SSRIs, in fact. On the other hand, I've never had any sexual problems with MAOIs (took Nardil for a while too), so I guess it's a question of which is more important to you.... (Not that I had a choice: the SSRIs don't seem to work for me, which is odd since Prozac helped quite a lot when I was a teenager.)
