I want to say first that I have been taking 50 mg. of Zolft now for about 5 years. I take it at bedtime. I hve only forgotten to take it once or twice in five years. The times I did forget however, I would have very strange images in the black space when I close my eyes. If I could get up and take it before going to sleep, in about 20-25 minutes the images would stop and I would fall peacefully to sleep. The nights that I did not take it at all I would have very strange and disturbing dreams. Even with these minor side effects, Zoloft is still one of the best things that has ever happened to me. It has made such a change in my life that I can't say enough good about it.

My side effects of methadose have been gradual weight gain, foot swelling (on both sides), onsets of fatigue, and black out flashes that seem as if when I close my eyes and wake up in a entirely different conversation with a person. I really just want to come off of it and go on with my life.

I've been taking wellbutrin XL 150 mg for about a ten days now. The first couple of days I have had a severe case of migraine. But now it comes and goes. I also can't sleep and when I do. I get like a sleep disturbance. I close my eyes and sleep for a split second and then I would awake suddenly. (I feel like I'm falling) These would last throughout the night. During the day I get jittery and have energy at times and then I would get tired all of a sudden. I am dizzy most of the day. I do however, have loss of appetite. I'm not eating like I usually do. My depression is getting better. I am curious to see if I can last a month or so. If it is the symptoms are getting worse. I think I might quit.

150 mg. dose has aided to bring down BP to more normal level. Taken before bed, best readings early morning and then more elevated through day. Huge problem: sleep. When I close my eyes images appear extremely rapidly, like an MTV music video. I am 49. My doctor wants to wait to see if sleep problems back off. I've waited but find dreams are miserable and make me feel depressed while sleeping. When I wake I feel awful. I want off this drug!!!

I've been taking ultracet for a little more than a year, for chronic cramps that make me very ill and immobile. I was wondering if any of you itch constantly? I feel so self conscious about it, but I can't help it! Other than that I have this strange feeling of calmness and its as if I'm in a quiet bubble...though any light and sound is extremely intensified for me. Anyone else like this? And I have to ask people to talk very softly to me. I become very sleepy but the moment I close my eyes I have very strange images and thoughts, making sleep difficult. I really hate taking this medication, but its been the only one that helps in terms of pain.
