I'm worried about a nuclear war

[Matthew1233]

I had a nightmare where the US used a nuke and it woke me up and now I'm worried that a WW3 will start. I am on Fluoxetine which may be causing these dreams.

thats a very normal fear because its utterly out of normal peoples control, and there`s been news this week that north korea have launched their latest test missile

but behind the scenes of any government or alliance, there are people who know perfectly well that a nuclear war wouldn`t benefit anyone.

I get scared too that something huge may one day happen but I try to literally picture putting it away in a box until I can influence it in some way

not sure if fluoxetine can cause such dreams, I remember being on seroxat years back and my dreams were in full colour and seemed very real so I hope you feel better very soon

Even if he did exist I'd not trust him. We've already had 2 world wars!

Antidepressants are well known for causing vivid dreams, the side effects lists in the Patient Information Leaflets (PIL) will detail them. But aside from that, SSRI's are known to disturb REM sleep when you start them and this calms down eventually.

I still get vivid dreams years on from starting meds but then mental health issues like depression are known to bring them anyway.
