Wondering if anyone else is having problems with vivid, unpleasant dreams. I wouldn't really call them nightmares, they are just not happy dreams. I usually have a few of these each night and I end up waking up during each one. Last night, I was running in one of the dreams and as I was waking up from it I could tell that I was breathing quickly as if I was running in real life. I wasn't gasping for breath, just breathing quickly. Sometimes I feel like my heartrate while I'm sleeping is faster that it is during the day and I wonder if it's due to these stressful dreams.

The nortriptyline that I started taking a month ago has helped relieve my dizziness and nausea, but sleep is one area that is not improving. I just dread going to bed because I know that I will be up multiple times throughout the night.

Is this a pretty normal pcs symptom? Anyone have suggestions on how to sleep more peacefully? I should add that I was having this problem prior to starting on the medication.
