Its hard to say for sure what people will experience with any of these drugs, but its nice to hear from you all. I am looking at whether geodon or lamictal is causing me these horride nightmares. It seems both drugs can. I started taking catapres, which is a blodd pressure med that has an off-label use to control nightmares which helped quite a bit... but beware...missing a dose or two of caterpress will give you a rather bad day, as it suppresses adrenaline...which causes nightmares.....so imagine what happens when this suppression suddenly stops???? BAD. i am tapering off geodon, i had no issue with it, but being seroquel is the only FDA approved anti-psychotic med to treat depression/aniexty....i will find out soon if the geodon was causing the nightmares or the lamictal. i will post later. just know- for me..tappering off geodon is not going pleasant for me. my doctor said the drug rep even mentioned it had a high side effect profile...
