Do vivid dreams from ssri’s go away?

Been on escitalopram for just over 3 weeks and having a lot of vivid dreams, which are a bit unsettling and making me feel my sleep isn’t so good. Will these dreams get less over time?

Mine didSmile slowly over a few months

Mine went away gradually however if I accidentally miss a dose, that night I will have the most strange dreams.

Yes they do. I quite enjoyed my weird dreams but 3 months in they are about gone.

Yes, they will settle

My husband has been getting vivid sexual dreams ever since he started on sertraline and they have not really gone away. I mentioned it to the doctor for him and she said unless it is causing a problem for us it is not an issue.

Mine didn’t go away, only after I stopped the meds, and I miss them a lot. It’s like having a secret life where interesting things actually happen!
