Sertraline dreaming! Do you like it?

Sertraline is well known for strong vivid dreams. I've been on Sertraline 11 years now and l cannot remember a night ( or a nap) where I've not had a strong and vivid dream. Some are like reading a short story. I always wake up and remember them. Some l can remember for years.. mostly they are very detailed dreams ..only a very rare few have been nightmares. Added note. My friend went on Sertraline a few months ago and asked me about it's connection to vivid dreams.. she started dreaming a lot about sex and sex with strangers..said she woke up so guilty she couldn't tell her husband or her Mormon friends.

Some of my dreams are funny others are very scary but all very vivid.
I've been to an antique shop twice buying and selling things it called Bermuda and in a certain part of my home city.
It doesn't exist.

I’m on Sertraline but as I’ve been having dreams like that every night for my entire life, it didn’t make any difference!

I love my Sertraline dreams. I look forward to going to bed to see the latest instalment. Last night I went to an auction and spent £585,000 on an antique dresser.

I have paroxetine dreams and bloody hate it. If I could take a pill to never dream again, I would be thrilled. Unfortunately, to not be on paroxetine doesn't seem to be a feasible option.
