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!

Yes, these are some antidepressants that can cause "vivid dreams" .I don't know what meds you're on,but you might want to discuss this with your Dr.
