is it the Zoloft, or the fact that I eat before I go to bed. Or , is it b/c I watch too much TV ? Or watch it too close to when I go to bed ? Or maybe it's b/c I go to bed too late. ? Has anyone out there been taking Zoloft and had bizarre dreams?. One woman I worked with in the 80s,. said that whenever she eats cheeze, she has wild dreams. Is that possible ? I'll try your suggestions if they've worked for you. Thank You to all you great akaQA ers .

Best answer!
It's most certainly the Zoloft, I was prescribed it a few years ago and had the same problem, I was then prescribed Propranolol which was bloody worse, if you can do without it the dreams will stop, worked for me.

This is a regular occurance for me. I don't drink alcohol or take medicine to sleep ... I don't eat past five pm and the programs I watch are usually "How To" or documentaries. Hmmmmmm.... could it be that you have an active imagination? Start writing the dreams down... you could have a story there!

Dreams can mean something, but most of the time it is just your mind working overtime. Without meds or late eating, most people do dream. Remembering them all and vividly is not usual, however it can happen. Enjoy them, or ignore if they are disturbing. As Wonder has said, you may have fun writing them down.

I take no drugs of any kind. I've heard that dreams keep you from waking repeatedly, during your sleep. The only time that I remember a dream, is when I wake up in the middle of the night, laughing out loud. Now, how weird is that? :)

I don't think it's too much to worry about, although the drugs may have something to do with it, why don't you come off of them, if you think that's the cause and see if it makes any diiference. I think we all have strange, wild,vivid dreams at times, I don't think there is any real explanation for them, although I always think it's to do withwhat you have been doing or thinking about the day before.

Did you have the same problem prior to taking the medication, MCM? It could be a side effect, which you can find out by contacting the pharmacist who filled the RX.
I watch all kinds of TV and generally fall asleep with the thing on, and then it's a murder investigation type show. Lots of blood and gore.
I sleep soundly and thoroughly, but it could be because I don't go to bed at a set time; I fall asleep when I'm sleepy.
A different med may be advisable.

Sitting a lot, not eating right, planning things to do, but feeling so blue.
I'm being my own worst enemy, Ducky. I just can't get myself going. I have so much potential, and "I think I can", but I just don't.
I have kind of given up on "life". Hope it's temporary (is 3 years still "temporary"?)
