I have been on several medications over the past months for anxiety. Right now i'm on Buspar. I am waiting for it to work but in the mean time, I have had some wild dreams. Some scary... If i do wake up from them I fall back to sleep after a little bit. I'm a pretty sound sleeper. It just felt like it has been years since I could remember a dream. Now I'm remembering them every night. I have never been on anxiety meds before so this is probably common, just a bit scary at first.
Are vivid dreams a common side effect of anti-anxiety medications like Buspar?

Hello Loopy Lisa,
Ive been on klonopin for my anxiety and ive had some pretty weird dreams. Ther not the lucid type but I have repeated dreams as you do. Some are scary but most are bout female friends. You should look into the dream thing. Barnes and Noble has many books of What dreams mean. VERY INTERESTING.
Take care,
R
