In reply to Meds to stop dreaming, posted by cecilia on March 11, 2006, at 22:11:21
> Are there any meds besides MAOI's that stop you from dreaming? I have such endless unpleasant anxious dreams that make me wake up feeling so exhausted and so much more tired than when I went to bed. Sometimes I dream for hours that I'm lying awake trying to fall asleep. (I often do lie awake for hours trying to fall asleep, but when it was a dream I realize it when I wake up). Cecilia
I know you're hurting from bad dreams -- but dreams, and the REM process are all a part of life. It sounds like I'm being callous... but in a way, it sounds like my desire to have more medicines to stop feeling my horrible anxiety complex and psychic pain, yet I need to feel life, because life is for living, it just -- well is.Yes, a harsh medicine like chloral hydrate or seconal could knock you out like a log but have you considered the psychodynamics of the dreams you're having and possible psychotherapy about them. I know that sounds Freudian, but there are reasons for them, even in todays psychotherapy.
Just a note. I hope you find a good solution
