I still take it or I will never fall asleep. The nightmares are repetitive and go all night then haunt me the next day. Is there anyone else with this issue? It sucks because otherwise it helps me...

Yeah, they are known for vivid dreams.

Seroquel is often prescribed in combination with other psychoactive drugs. Specifically, Risperidal is known to cause horriffic, gory nightmares from which the person pops awake suddenly and often has trouble distinguishing their dreams from reality for up to 30 minutes. One identifier of Risperidal is hair-raising chills at the time it is taken. Seroquel, then, is prescribed to help stop the awful nightmares that the Risperidal causes.

Haven't been taking very long, and was enjoying the good sleep UNTIL those creepy nightmares began. So strange. Never had dreams as vivid as these. Just wish they could be of the "pleasant" variety versus the horrific variety.

I woke up at 6;40 this morning shaking and soaking wet after a nightmare from risperidone. This is only the second night I am taking them for anxiety, but it will be my last. Never had it happen on seroquel.
