Hey y’all! Im on lamotrogine 200mg and Seroquel 200mg. And I always have crazy dreams and more recently bad nightmares or night terrors. Does this happen to anyone else? Is it possibly a side-effect of the medication?

      I am on Seroquel and I have had some pretty bad nightmares for the first few weeks on it but they got better. Now I only have weird dreams and sometimes scary but not as much.

      Yes.. most of mine aren't nightmares. I switched from Seroquel to geodon. It doesn't do that

      My therapist is also on seroquel but says it helps her sleep with no issues. I take prazosin at night, it also helps with nightmares and ptsd. Me personally makes me feel like I'm having a bad trip and makes me freak out but it might help you

        @vxnillacoke it does help me sleep but I also get crazy dreams!

      If it is something happening as recent as starting the medication or gets worse while on the medication, it is likely a side effect. That medication worsened my fainting spells but I'd recommend discussing the symptoms with your doctor

        @wyvernprince yeah I’ve been on it for like 5-6 years. They’ve always been a problem but I guess I never put two and two together.

        @wyvernprince Lamotrogine is the medication I was on lol
