Guest guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 The sleeping medication I take is Trazedone - I'm quite used to it, but it has never caused the dreaming before. As far as the elavil, I looked it up, and was somewhat worried - I noticed this paragraph: Body as a Whole: Lupus-like syndrome (migratory arthritis, positive ANA and rheumatoid factor). Granted, I've already had these tests done (at least the ANA) a couple of weeks ago - before starting the Elavil, but I go to a new doc and six weeks, and if I start showing symptoms of lupus, or she repeats the blood test and we get a false positive, well then, we go down a whole different road.

When my doctor first prescribed Ambien, she advised that many of her patients as a side effect complained over very vivid dreams, many nightmares. One patient was traumatized because she kept dreaming of blood everywhere. Lunesta gives me very vivid dreams and sometimes bad ones, but I have been on it for several years now, and it helps me be able to sleep.

Guest guest Posted April 21, 2008 Report Share Posted April 21, 2008 I have been taking Elavil for several year now. Haven't notice any usual dreams that I can recall. Sometimes still don't sleep well from the 30mg of Elavil I take. So take my Darvocet N and Melatonin to help me sleep. I tried increasing Elavil to 40mg but it made me dizzy.
