Hi guys,
I have a question for those of you who are taking or ever took straterra? Did you find that your dreams change?
I mentioned before that my dreams are always very vivid, BUT now i started dreaming a lot about ghosts. And if sometimes those ghosts are more like demons who disappear when you do sommething right, most of the time those ghosts are invisible but have shape. So i know they are there, but i can't see them, yet when they are touching me they have shape and weight. I find it very strange and because I started dreaming of them only after i started taking straterra I am thinking that maybe those two are related somehow :eek:

Strange stuff happening :confused: ...

Well on a brighter note i wasted only 3 hours today and i am starting my homework now :D whoo hooo

I have read that a few times about people who get vivid and unusual dreams on Strattera. As long as they don't freak you out I guess you should be OK but you may want to mention it to your doctor anyway :)

Yep, really vivid dreams started once I took Strattera. They are almost "movie like". I can wake up, briefly, and then pick up where I left off.

I am also pretty good at relating dream objects or people back to a prior thought or encounter, while awake.

Yeah now I remember also that I can wake up and fall asleep having the same dream. And it almost never used to happen before. If i woke up that was it for the dream. Now in order to get rid of the dream I really have to make an effort of waking up. So sometimes I actually turn the light on and then fall asleep with it. hehehe makes all the scary thoughts go away :D
but yeah having continuous dreams is something that also started recently...INTERESTING.....;)

From a lady's point of view, mine actually got better. That might have been because I started working out regularly (5 times a week), and that as we know increases your drive. But yeah it's all GREAT in that department :)

When I first starting taking Strattera, I was having unusually more vivid dreams. Now, after a few months, my dreams are back to normal. But, one big change I noticed with my dreams since being on Strattera is that almost all my dreams are more relaxing. Before, I would have frequent stressful, anxiety filled dreams.....dreams about people chasing you, failing classes because I forgot to go, etc. Since I'm much calmer now, my dreams have become calmer.
