How Can I Find Out Which Of My Medications Are Causing Me To Have Vivid Dreams?

Updated

I have very vivid and busy dreams almost like movies, every night. If I get up in the night, I will have a double-header. I don't watch much TV, but the dreams will be bits and pieces of what has happened or what I have seen recently and mixed all together.

I started taking Dexilant (was called Kapidex). Not until then did I have such vivid dreams. So weird..like whole movies. LOL And, I, too, will have 2-3 dreams like that per night. I am thinking about getting a tablet for my nightstand and jotting a book down! ;D

I, too, am having the CRAZIEST dreams while taking Dexilant 60 mg 1x a day in the morning. I've been taking it a while, it works great! Last 2 months, I've had dreams that defy explanation!

Recently diagnosed with accute GERD. No symptoms whatsoever until about a month ago when I started having great difficulty swallowing. No heartburn. No acid indigestion at all. Felt like a lump in my throat. Had endoscopy yesterday and specialist wants me to start taking Dexilant. (Have been taking Nexium with no noted improvement in swallowing.) Since I have no heartburn or indigestion, will Dexilant help with my problem? Or is it worth the side effects?

I felt very tired, depressed, had to drink energy drinks while on this drug, just to overcome the lethargy it seeemed to put on me. Now, after 4 weeks of it, I discontinued it on my own due to that, 2 days later I am having similar vivid dreams, nightmares, as if I am having withdrawal symptoms. I am not taking any other medication, and never abused drugs or alcohol, so I believe its is this drug! Cannot wait to purge it from my system. I believe it can effect the brain or nervous system function. Will never take it again.
