Dreams

Has   anyone   else  had   really  bad  dreams   after  undergoing   their  Chemo?  I  had  a  right  Mastectomy in  April, and  removal   of  Aux/  nodes. Had  my  first  round  of  Chemo a  week ago, had  a  bit of  nausea, tiredness  and  bone  aches .  Took a  Pramin  tablet   to help  with  the  nausea twice , and  on  each occasion   suffered  with   very  graphic/psychadelic  dreams, that   continued  where  they  had  left off  after   waking  and  then  going  back  to  sleep.   I am   wondering  if  it   was  the  Pramin, or is it  just me ?

  • Thanks  Manda  Moo  and  Maria 333   for  your  replies. I  too  googled  Pramin, but   couldn't  find  anything about dreams or  halucinations. I  will take  it  up  with my   oncologist  when  I   see  him  next . Chas

  • Sounds like it is worth asking your Dr to check.  I have been having episodes of quite vivid dreams at times.  I just put it down to going through such a full on experience and a body full of drugs.  Mine haven't been so disturbing as to worry me though. 

    I just googled Pramin and it is also called Maxalon- I have taken this after my FECs but not associated my dreams with taking it specifically.

    If you are concerned - chat to your oncologist.

  • Hi Chas,

    I would get in touch with your oncologist, this may be a side effect of the drugs you are on.  I had to have one of my drugs halved as i was having hallucinations. Huge difference to dreams, where you cannot switch off and cannnot control.

    All the very best.
