Yes - for 10 years now I have suffered horrendous dreams nightly.
I have attended Sleep Clinic, psychology and psychiatrists to get to the bottom of this and recently I stumbled across the fact that the dreaming coincided with the time I started taking pregabalin 450 mg daily. I recently tried reducing with terrible side effects which made me feel awful. So here I am addicted at now 400mg it seems and dreading the thought that I will never be free of the dreams which make my life unbearable at times

Nightmares are definitely a side effect of some medicines. I have them too. Last night my husband woke me up because I was screaming. I dreamt I was being pursued by a serial killer. Where did that come from?!!

Thanks for responding - every single time I sleep - you just start to think you are the only one out there suffering this problem at times x
