Meds And Weird Dreams

i have a question... is your side effect of your seizure meds causing you to have odd, weird, or scary dreams. and if so, for how long?

No, I don't dream at all. You maybe need to cut back watching TV or video several hours before bedtime? That's my motherly advice LOL

I used to not dream or at least not remember my dreams for a few decades. not until I drop my Dilantin (Phenytoin) did my dreams return. Weird dreams, I have had a few, but very rare.

If you believe that it’s due to your medication, you should ask your doctor

@A MyEpilepsyTeam Member that is not it... i go on tv everynight (mostly background noise). no watching horror or playing games past 1/2 hour or hour before bed. sometimes i have weird dreams and sometime i have a normal dreams. i know this is because of the meds.

i'll start. i have weird and scary dreams. it happens every night or every or=ther night up to 3 a week. it is usually chucky, freddy, and/or jason. what is weird is thay/he is doing something out of character. excample is, chucky mowing the back yard while freddy is grilling and jason is swimming in the pool. no other people around. it is like thay are vacationing.
