The only time I have had nightmares is when I took amytriptyline (sp?) for pain. It used to be used as an antidepressant way back when or even still...I'm not sure.
My PM doctor was experimenting with different meds to try and control my pain...five herniated discs needing ADR/fusion or a combination. I tried the drug above for almost a week, and woke up every night with stories just like yours.
Is there any chance that a drug is causing the bad dreams instead of the pain? Just an idea
