As @sunkacola said, dry mouth is a common side effect of many meds. In my case, amitriptyline seems to be the culprit. I only experience dry mouth during sleep as I take my amitriptyline at bedtime due to its other side effect of drowsiness (and also as prescribed). What I'm doing now is keeping...

It doesn't matter what type (SSRI, tricyclic, etc)...I always have the same side effect of disturbing dreams. Just finished up my visit with my mental health doc. Really nothing to be done unless I want to discontinue antidepressants. That's not an option as I tried before under my doctor's...

Thank you everyone for your feedback on antidepressants and disturbing, vivid dreams. I will take the advice given and speak to my doctor this week. Hugs!

This is a little off topic but since amitriptyline is being discussed here I thought I would ask. Does anyone here experience very disturbing dreams with amitriptyline or any other antidepressants? I have found that all of the antidepressants I have used give me extremely disturbing dreams, so...

Agreed @JayCS . @sweetkamie20 it certainly does sound like you live in a dangerous area, and very unhealthy environment for socializing, even just getting outside and passing a stranger. I think changing your living environment should be a HIGH priority for you. Otherwise, you will continue...

I think it is apropos here for me to say that one of my very favorite words and a description of my ideal lifestyle is 'balance'. I always try to strive for a healthy balance in all areas of my life. :)

Yes, it can sometimes be difficult, especially in a culture where we are indoctrinated to be outgoing, to go along with the crowd, extroverted. Introverts get a bad rap in the US (I cannot speak to elsewhere). I don't know, Jay, about introversion LEADING to social anxiety, but a combination of...
