I just saw a commercial for one (intermezzo) whose side effects include hallucinations, depersonalization, suicidal thoughts (including completed suicides), doing things like driving in a half awake state and having no recollection the next day, etc etc. It's INSANE.

For me it's the side effect of trazodone, which I take to help me sleep -- go figure. I know how vivid the dreams can be, where the next morning, I'm left feeling like it really happened. You might ask your doctor if you can take Klonopin at night. It hasn't helped me get rid of the vivid dreams, but it has tamped down the intensity/anxiety factor.<br /><br />*hugs*Barbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05538106233407301480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2268442679430918072.post-19413426251079249232013-01-15T08:56:12.006-08:002013-01-15T08:56:12.006-08:00Giving you a thousand hugs!

Having been in a bad relationship that was angelic compared to yours (yet far from angelic) I understand your fears. If I even see someone that resembles him to this day, ten years later, I start to shake and habe to leave where I am at. I fear someday he will show up in real life. So I completely "get" you and to be repetitive, send hugs. Remember you are in a good place now with a loving family. Keep that in focus!opinion8dhermithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15093100869650698978noreply@blogger.com
