I have been on citalopram medication for a year now, 15 mg. I have really vivid dreams a few months into the medication. That is not a problem but many are nightmares. Really bad ones, such as struggling to do something that i cant. Last night my dream was full of corpses, blood and death...It felt so real...Does anyone else have bad dreams because of the med?

I don't have bad dreams because of meds, but I do suffer from nightmares.

I do find that when I am having stress (most of it due to work) I have restless nights and tend to have re-occuring nightmares about the same things.

Have you had a read to see if bad dreams are a side effect of Citalopram?

Dear Jaco45er
Thank you for your reply. Although I havent asked a doctor whether this is one of the side effects of the med I assume so because that is when nightmares or vivid dreams started. In the medication leaflet it says that one of the rare side effecs can be sleep disturbances. I am not sure 100 perecent. I do agree though than stress can make things worse.
