> I've noticed since going on Effexor-XR that I've had really violent lucid dreams that truely do scare me in the dreaming and waking state as other people here have noticed too.
> Only last night it was that I had 2 seperate nightmares in the one night and they both involved me either being dead, trying to stop someone from killing me or a really strong surreal feeling of physically dying.
> Whilst in the dream I notice I feel pains in the chest where I have been shot (in the dream of course) and I get really upset about it.
> I wake up feeling deprived of a relaxing night's sleep and troubled by the detailed gorish dreams.
> When my GP put me on this AD he casually advised that lucid dreams may be a side effect I experience but I never expected it to be of this severe degree and troubling me so much while I'm awake.
> I wish there was some sort of relief from these dreams and if anyone here knows of something I could try I'd much appreciate it.

> I'm rather worried about going to sleep tonight but I guess I will have to eventually.
