The last three medications I have been on have all been giving me abnormal dreams and nightmares. I have also been waking up in the middle of the night with anxiety and not being able to fall back asleep.
This has happened on effexor, elavil and most recently/currently on lithium orotate. along with those side effects, they also seem to be making my depression, anxiety, some twitching of legs, ear ringing, pains in ears, sensitivity of hearing and everything else 100x's worse. They seem to be making my brain malfunction worse than it already is.
Is this something I should try to ride out with time and hope these side effects go away. Are the dreams/nightmares normal (I never have bad dreams when I am not on meds, maybe the last time was in highschool over 8 years ago that I can remeber). Now the bad dreams are one after the other every night. Is this side effect something I should be worried about. What is going on with me here? Any advice would be appreciated.
