Howdy, ok, I'm on week 5 pill 3 of Lex now and lately I have been getting headaches and dreams-some nightmares-some just weird, like my dog running down the street catching a frog and swallowing it-then me listening to her belly going 'ribbit ribbit'. LOL Another re-occurring dream I have is about my past-good memories, and another one is about my current life-a person who I have issues with (a relative), just 'dreams'
Are these dreams telling me something? Has anyone had what I'm talking about here while on Lexapro? The headaches concern me, because I wasn't getting them. I'm trying to correlate them to foods, MSG-but not probable. Stress-most likely-no. I take my Lexapro in the morning, if I lay down in the afternoon and take a nap, I have the dreams. I wonder if a few hours after I take the Lex if this is what happens and why? I also am starting to wonder after 4 weeks if 10mg IS too much for me-in which case I truly hope not. I think someone had mentioned in an earlier post about feeling bad again about the 5th week, and I hate to say it, but the last few days, I've felt like I'm slipping.........don't like it:( and am quite scared.
Anyway, just thought I would put this out there hoping to get any feedback or related experiences.
Thanks.

I'm just into week 2, but yes, the dreams have been extraordinary. Last night, I was in Africa living in a luxurious home with it's back to the river, I walked around to the back of the house and every imagineable animal was floating down the river, sitting with their legs crossed and watching me as they floating along. The lion is the one that really caught my eye though, it looked like it really wanted to say something to me, but just kept floating.
