is in fact, is pretty much the same as
other ssri's Prozac, Zoloft,and Paxil-all excellent ssri's. For a partial responder adding Lithium or thyroid may help. Takes 4-6 wks for a a full response.As far as the REM sleep goes-my wife watches me when i sleep and can see my eyes moving back and forth very rapidly-just kidding:) Seriously, it is during REM sleep that dreaming occurs, and I am definitely dreaming. Adults spend about 25% of the night in REM phase. I have also had some nightmares and and they always occur during REM phase. I know you'll probably disagree, but I know I'm experiencing REM-and have done some study on sleep..and well i know what i believe to be true.
