I read that weed makes you not dream, then when you go off weed you have crazy dreams. So heavy, heavy weed users that quit, how long did you have crazy dreams for?
Weeks? Months? Years? Any other interesting experiences?
I hadn't considered it might be quitting weed since I started an antidepressant around the same time and had been assuming it was that. It's been a little over 5 weeks and I'm having awful nightmares every single night. Not interesting, just unpleasant and rooted in my various traumas.
Not ideal, but all the other positives of sobriety are worth it.
Antidepressants cause vivid dreams for me. Cyclobenzaprine is a serotonergic muscle relaxer that causes the type of vivid nightmares that make me yell in my sleep.
