Where's the irony? Sorry. I should have mentioned before, that I just find it ironic that an antipsychotic gives me worse nightmares. Nightmares I can actually feel pain in.
Am I the only one that's noticed increased dreams/nightmares on quitiapine?

Omg yes I sure did have bad dreams. Very vivid dreams. I was always hurting someone or getting hurt or something bad that could be real was happening and I was crazy or something. Getting beat up a lot in my dreams. It was weird because yes I have been in a fight before but I am no you fighter. Much more of a lover. I dont know what to tell you about what to do. I had to get off of it. Eventually I didnt sleep at all because I would wake up with nightmares, you know the kind that when you wake up your sort of out of breath and stunned. Either that or I would just sit up straight out of my sleep wide awake. Strange things happened on that med. It also made me gain so much weight that I can not get off.
