Insomnia and broken sleep are a relatively common SSRI side-effect. Vivid dreams also sometimes happen. I don't think they are any different than what we normally dream, but ADs may shorten and/or lighten the depth of REM sleep which can allow the dreams to bleed into conscious awareness. I used to love the ones I had when on imipramine. Full widescreen Technicolor extravaganzas and often really weird. I haven't taken imipramine for nearly 25 years but I still miss them.
also my jaw is constantly clenched when I realise I’m doing it I stop does anyone else do this? Xxx
Jaw clenching is another common SSRI side-effect. It is usually temporary.
