Hello, Jojo! How are you?

Vivid dreaming can be a side effect of this medication, as listed by the FDA, as well as the other issues you've described. You may also experience dry mouth, dizziness and weight changes.

However, side effects such as this are usually transient and will go away in a few weeks, once your body gets used to the medication. If they worsen, or persist past 4 to 5 weeks, then you should consult your doctor as you may need to switch to a different medication.

Is there anything else I can help with?
