Sleeping and wild dreams.
Ever since I became an epileptic I have had very vivid dreams. The neurologist says it’s probably the seizures that has caused them. I’m wondering drugs. I dream all night long with my deceased parents in lots of them. Some ar OK but others not. Give me your thoughts
Every night. Lots of epileptics have them with no common in drugs. I asked the neurologist and he said it could be the epilepsy. My nights are like another life. I’m on Dilantin and Oxcarbazepin.
Hi there!
I find I have very vivid dreams as well. I never thought to ask if it was a side effect of my medication. Now, I've had epilepsy since the age of 10 and on medication that long as well. However, if it does concern you ask your healthcare provider for sure.
Happy Saturday
