I am at 100mg of Topamax now for about a full month and have noticed falling off to sleep easier except having extremely vivid nightmares, has anyone experienced this while using Topamax? Years ago when I was put on Prozac I had this happen too and it sort of went away, do these meds. effect the brain chemistry in such a way that it would "mess" up dreams? Last night's nightmare was of seeing a horrible car accident with writhing bodies at a hwy intersection where I use to live it was so horrible and real and in the dream I kept trying to drive my car away from it but the car kept getting closer to it forcing me to see and hear the writhing and screaming of the victims as the emergency workers were helping them, so vivid I jumped up out of my sleep, so much for a "good" nite's sleep. Let me know if you've had this experience with the Topamax, besides poor spelling, ha!ha!
Thanks, "darkeyes"

God, I'm giving you nicknames now.... I'm at 200mgs and have been for at least a year and if anything I hardly ever dream at all anymore. Maybe it's reacting with some other med you're taking, like the Lith? You are still taking the Lith right....? I don't recall anyone I've talked to personally that takes the Top ever mentioning having vivid dreams with it, but that doesn't mean it doesn't happen. You might do a Google search and see what you come up with. I can also call my Psych and ask him if you'd like? BTW, you're not being graded on your spelling...yet. ![]() bp "I am ready to meet my Maker. Whether my Maker is prepared for the great ordeal of meeting me is another matter." |

Maybe it was just a dream with hidden symbolism of the past 2yrs where I use to live, the intersection representing something in my life and the paths I've travelled, who knows right? The crash could of represented when all had happened and when I "freaked" wanting to turn away but yet something drew me closer. Dream intereptation (spelling) can be interesting, no? Some answers can be found there sometimes better than our docs can offer us, ha!ha! Take care, BTW thanks for your help, you are a "sweetie"
