Ur good brother yeah they arent always nessacarily nightmares but weird, vivid, and irrational dreams that have potential to go bad. Funny you mentioned drug dreams too, I also had a one lastnight where I stole abunch of 80s and roxi 30s from this dude I follow on instagram who I dont know at all (weird right), his always uploading pictures of them. I was staying at this dudes place and we did some together an afterwards he hid them and I saw where, so he passed out and I went an grabbed em, then suddenly im at my house in my backyard just standing, for some reason I tried calling him but he blocked me. Weird shit, unbelievably realwhen I'm in opiate withdrawal and going through PAWS I have persistent drug dreams ...wouldn't exactly call them "nightmares" just dreams centered around drugs.
not exactly related but when I'm w/ding off the SSRI viibryd (vilazodone) I get damn TERRIFYING hypnogogic hallucinations and nightmares. =/
geodon gives me nightmares.
sleeping w/ a nicotine patch on gives me a massive amount of extremely vivid dreams which can sometimes be nightmares.
got slightly off topic there sorry.
Hm thats interesting, a cousin of mine and friends who use opiates/benzos also had weird/bad dreams while detoxing. My cousin said he woke up in sleep paralysis to a 'demon' screaming in his face and another where he swore he died and said everything flashed before his eyes and saw a bright light at the end of a tunnel. He smoked an 1/8 of tar a day and anywhere between 4-15 bars, quit cold with the boi. It got so bad he started hearing voices an shit too but they stopped once the use stopped. Ive had OBEs while withdrawaling too like 3 totalGreat thread. When I went through rehab, a girl, who was a ex heroin addict, had to take dream suppression drugs. I'll have to ask my doctor about that.

Yeah while on it and occasionally while he wasnt high on it , and me either he said they would start whenever he would begin nodding off. It started when he started doing 1+ grams a day and a bunch of xanny bars at the same time. When he got clean it started slowing down. I asked him the other day "do you still have schzio episodes and shit?" He said "no it was from doing too many drugs" he was doing meth quite a bit too to stay awake, so 1-3.5Gs of tar, 4-15 bars, and meth all at once. And thats what I know who was using, who knows what else he was doing.he heard voices on heroin??? is that what you're saying or am I misunderstanding? I've never heard of that happening.
Damn man. Im sorry for your loss and all the torture you went through I wouldnt be able to cope with anything after that. I can sort of relate too, my cousin whom im speaking about above is my best friend and he tried to commit suicide with a .22 but it jammed and told me about it the next day and I was furious as fuck. Not really relatable with you witnessing it happen which I cant even imagine man. But it did haunt me for awhile, always worrying and imagining the worst and constantly stressing about it whenever he wouldnt respond to texts or calls, that alone made me breakdown. I never was withdrawaling around that time but it wouldve been horrible if I was. I shouldve caught on though. the day before he told me "if anything ever happens to me man, just know im a lot happier and I dont want you to cry or be sad about it" it hit me hard, I didnt say anything I just looked at him. I didnt know what to say.For months after I stopped using oxys and Xanax I had nightmares about my best friend's suicide. He actually committed suicide in real life by using a .38 to the temple. I was trying to stop him but I was unsuccessful. I have PTSD from it but the nightmares while I was in WD were the worst. They were so vivid it was like experiencing the whole thing over again every night. My girlfriend felt so horrible for me. I would wake up screaming at the top of my lungs, thinking I was covered in blood. I would run to the bathroom and start washing the blood off me before I realized it was a dream. It was so horrible. Eventually it stopped but every once and awhile I'll have a bad dream about it.

It was actually scary while I was with him during the episodes. He would say shit that would make zero sence and repeating himself over and over saying "NO I CANT DO IT" and really odd things that would make you very uncomfortable. He acts nothing like it now.
I kind of feel like it was xanax withdrawal and meth together. If he didnt have alprazolam in his system shit got bad and mixing that with a meth comedown..
Yeah my bet is right there along side of yours.ah meth too. I'd bet it was mostly the meth.
