My doctor gave me something called Mefloquine, and I would wake up sweating from the nightmares it gave me...I mean BAD nightmares. I could not believe my mind could even think up this kind of bad stuff. I wonder if they share an active ingredient? Anyway, anyone with problems with Celexa may want to watch out for mefloquine (I think it is sold under the name Larium or something like that). I stopped taking it after a few days...decided I'd rather risk malaria than have those kinds of dreams. aLincoln</a> Wow, I’ve never taken Celexa, so I can’t comment on the side-effects on me; however, this sounds exactly like what happened to me when I took malaria pills while traveling in Southeast Asia.

I take 30 mg every night at 9pm. Since the 2 days I've been off, my dreams are SO disturbing, that it throws me off at work. The smallest things remind me of my dreams, I get confused as to what parts are real and what isn't. Not like I'm being killed/nightmares/zombies, but more like betrayal and uncomfortable feelings.

HIGHLY disturbing and its not like you can really share them with others. I am off of Celexa now (its been a month) and I dream nice things. It makes an enormous difference as to how i feel in the morning. also, i can actually STAY up past 10 pm!<br/><br/>antidepressants are WAY overperscribed. i got all those side effects. the nightmares are terrible.
