I’ve only experienced at least 2 pretty terrible nightmares since I was diagnosed and I was wondering the same... I can remember them very vividly and they felt so real I could not go back to sleep both times actually almost had a panic attack... fun right?

I get terrible nightmares with FM. I don't believe they're medicine related. These doctors just don't have the answers. I've tried every sleep medication, natural and prescribed and it doesn't seem to matter. When the FM is bad, stress is high, diet is poor, pain levels are high I get crazy insane horrifying nightmares that wake me up. I don't even want to write about them they're so weird. I've tried cymbalta, ambien, melatonin, lots of magnesium, nothing works great. For me, Valium is the best option. I've tried clonopin and that made me feel really crazy, a lot of people have bad reactions to that. I have to remind myself, the best way to get around it is eat a simple healthy meal kind of late, take a warm bath, destress in every way possible and that tends to work best.

I am glad I am not crazy! I have been taking cymbalta for over a month now. The past few weeks - most nights I have the craziest very vivid dreams!

I take gabapentin and Cymbalta

Im so glad someone said somthing. I have been having awful dreams. I mean i wake up and I can't shake the dream. It stays on my mind and depresses me.
