dreams or hallucinations?
 

I'm wondering about this - I've had a lot of dreams in the past, but these that I've been having this year seem a lot more real than they have been being. I think I had mentioned one of my dreams in a previous post - Is it possible to have a hallucination in your sleep?? Is this because of the meds?

Sky,

Some drugs give you "vivid dreams." You might look up your meds and check for this phrase.

I would think it is likely a result of the meds you are taking for your pain.

That's the only bad side effect of LDN, that I have. I hate these
vivid *** dreams. :mad:

Yes, probably the meds.
I actually enjoy the vivid dreams that come with LDN because on those nights it means that I've actually slept and it's also usually better than TV (which I stopped watching years ago).

I agree with the others, meds. When I was on Copaxone, I has some wild colorful dreams. I know we had discussed it at one point. I'm not sure if it was on NT or another forum. And, the dreams could seem so realistic, as if you were actually experiencing what what happening. Really bizarre. Enjoy them though. They can be pretty entertaining. ;):D

I also think that being sick or not feeling well, we all tend to have different dreams than when we are well. I know my dreams can get really weird if I'm sick. So that's another possibility.

WOW...that's a lot of different types of medication :eek:.

Hopfully an effective medication program will be established for you at the MS clinic. In the meantime you might want to check with your PCP and/or a pharmacist on whether or not it is OK to be taking all of those different types of meds at the same time.
I know that you said that you don't take them all every day, but many of these remain in the body/liver for some time after being taken (check on the half-life of them), so that or even their metabolites could be causing some toxic stresses. The toxic stresses in turn most definitely can cause sensory hallucinations...visual, auditory, smells etc.

My MS neuro advised against combining some of the OTC NSAID, although that recommendation could have been made specifically for me rather than as a generalization. I really hope that you will at least check with a pharmacist to find out what is best for you.

Worried about you and hope that you get all of this under control soon :hug:.
Please continue to keep us updated.

I am not on any medications but when I have pain during the night, which is more often than not, I have very vivid and violent dreams. Things that are really sick and twisted at times. :eek:

You might Google hypnagogic hallucinations.
