Hi everyone,

I was put on medication which made my anxiety worse, I couldn’t sleep felt jittery and had really bad night mares,

I just wanted some advice on how to get past the nightmares. They felt so real and can ruin my day when I have a flash back

please tell me if anyone else has had this? I have a mental health lady ringing me everyday to help but I’m just sitting here crying as it has just ruined my whole day.

thank you!

Hi KK7's,

Thanks for your post.

I've had a similar experience, but I think it's best to go to your GP or prescribing doctor.

Side effects should always been told to your prescribing doctor.

Let us know how you go, reach out soon.

Regards,

That's really good to hear.

We're so lucky to have such good mental health works and mind help minded GPs. I really struggled to find good one in the past.

Let us know how you go KK7, always interested to hear good news stories.

Hi KK7

Sorry to hear about your bad experience with the medication.

i have just been put on an ssri and am nervous about the night terrors as i already experience them without medication. i’m worried it’s going to make it worse, did they suggest a different medication or a chnage in doseage ?
