Hello, Anny! How are you?

Yes, this medication has been associated with sleep disturbances, nightmares and vivid dreaming

Many medications do have such an effect, because they can cause REM onset latency.

Have you discussed the issue with your doctor? You may be able to switch to a different one that doesn't cause such a problem for you.
