The post about the weird dreams got me thinking of a weird side effect that I've experieced lately and wondered if anyone else experienced it as well.

I can handle the weird dreams I have while I'm asleep now since I'm almost a year into it now but it's the weird thoughts I have while I'm awake that bother me the most. I will be sitting and find myself thinking of something very disturbing. Once I realize what I'm doing I try to those thoughts I can't figure it out. It happens every day. These thoughts are very strange, vivid and disturbing. I can never figure out why or how these thoughts got into my head. I haven't been able to figure out if there is a pattern (like what I'm doing when these thoughts appear) but just know that it has happened enough that it bothers me.

Anyone else?

Yeah, I've posted about this before too. I get weird thoughts that don't make sense...especially when I'm laying down for a nap or for the night. It happens mostly during the process of going to sleep. They haven't been as vicious since I had my Mirtazapine dosage upped.

I also suffer from intrusive thoughts...but those have also gotten better since the med dosage was increased.

If they become too disturbing you might want to look into getting yourself on an anti-depressant, if your not on one already. It has a lot to do with anxiety.

Good luck.

Yes I have. I find sometimes im in a day dream. Im awake but lost to whats around me. Sometimes disturbing but not always. If im tired or stressed it can get worse. Also like nick says when your falling asleep. I try to shake it off and continue. I also have dreams and in my dreams I'm telling myself to wake up. I then dream that I woke up and it wasnt a dream. Scares the heck out of me. Lol then I do wake up im relieved it was just a dream. Not a good way to start the day.

That's funny you posted this now...I just tried to take a nap and I spent 2 hours laying in bed daydreaming some weird things. Never actually fell asleep.

I get this alot. Apparently it is so common that they are making a television show about it. A guy is in a car accident and ends up living two separate lives. On is actually a dream, but no one knows which one. I saw the previews, wasn't planning on watching the show.
