Dreams. I usually always had dreams that I used to forget by morning?

Question

I was on mild anti depressents Zoloft & 0.5 mg Alparazolam SOS panic, for 3 years to cure lack of cheerfulness.Dont know how much that helped but I gradually reduced and stopped taking three weeks ago. Instaed I switched to a Homeopathic medicine and am feeeling no problem except severe dreams. The dreams are so life like, sequenced with logical stories that make a compelete story. The contents are relevent with real people playing real role. Sometimes after getting up I am really confused try to recall if I really had such incidents in my life. I remember them longer.One thing is common though and that is that Its to do with a friendship or love. In real life I am very lonely at heart as cud'nt get a friend /partnet that give me any emotional support. After such dreams, if positive, I feel so contented even and temporarily restful. & oif otherwise exhasted.(Once I even had a movie like murder mystry story that ended with logical resolve).

After such dreams my desire to have a real friend/lover flares up and I become more unrestful and frustated that at 48 i cant do much about it . I remain tired ,unrestful and confused most of the morning due to this.

You're having withdrawl from your medication, you should not have stopped taking your meds and switched to anything else before checking with your GP or whomever prescribed your meds. It is very wrong to self diagnose and think that you're better and no longer need your meds. They take time to work, and when they do, most people make the mistake of thinking they no longer need them because they are "better". Go back to your GP and get back on your meds and do not stop taking them until you have the OK from your GP.
