Disturbing vivid dreams nightly on Xanax Posted: 03-14-08 22:11pm
I have had disturbing, vivid dreams every
night the last few years. Sometimes the
events are normal but I'm feeling a great
deal of anxiety/panic in my sleep.
Sometimes the events are disturbing and
the anxiety/panic is intensified. I also
have intense anxiety/panic during the day
(first few hours of day are worst) that
are not related to surounding events. I
live a simple life with an everyday
routine. I have finally found quite a bit
of relief in the day when the doctor
put me on Xanax XR twice a day. But, vivid
dreams continued. It was like having to
sit in front of a TV blaring at you 24
hrs a day. Today the Dr. put me on a Blood
pressure med (Minipress) to take at
bedtime to see if it helps. (My blood
pressure has been slowing rising last few
years) Iam 55 yr. old woman, most
symptoms came on with menopause. I would
appreciate any input from anyone with same
problem.

You could try get your doc to put you on a
different anti-anxiety, or see a
psychologist about it. Your family doc
probably isn't equipped to deal with that.
