Hello,have had problems with nightmares, etc. while on meds. My most recent
reaction was to anapsine (sp?)
This is a nausea med that was being given to me here in the hosp. to for my
pancreas problem. The Anapsine made me very jumpy...it magnified everything by
100. I have had a problem on other meds with nightmares and mild hallucinations
(one thing I do on Percocet is "dream" conversations I haven't had!
I hope you are able to adjust your meds so that these symptoms disappear...I know
this is the last thing you must need.

Take care,

Mykella

I, too
