dreams on sertraline

i know they say everyone dreams every night but we dont always remember them but since starting sertraline 3 months ago i just cannot get a good nights sleep,i literally am dreaming four or five times a night,i wake after each dream and can remember it vividly(and for weeks afterwards} then back to sleep dream and wake again,stopped taking the tablets about six days ago as i was so sick of this but can feel myself going downhill again,and other people have noticed a change in me,have given in and gone back on tham today,am waiting too see a psychiatrist as doc thinks i may be bipolar,is this the right medication for that and has anyone else experienced similar side feects???

Hi, I have always been a vivid dreamer, I think in the first few weeks of taking Sertraline my dreams were strange, but they settled down again. I love dreaming anyways, the weirder the better, its a good escape.

I have only been on Sertraline 6 weeks but last night especially I had a really heavy, vivid set of dreams which actually affected my mood and relationships today.

I know its the drug and its a shame because they really do work in making me calmer and more motivated, but I guess u gotta weigh up the pros and cons.

I'm going to see how tonight goes then see my doctor in the morning because i've also had hallucinations in smell and sound and some pink spots have appeared on my arms.

Stick with them, the dreams will fade out. Taking the tablets in the morning, not evening, helps.
