Maybe the Lexapro?

Hello, Tonya,
Good job on stopping the cutting! It's not easy but you did it.
I'd call the doctor who prescribed the Lexapro for you and discuss your nightmares. Insomnia is listed as a potential side effect of Lexapro, and meds that can cause insomnia can also cause other sleep issues -- possibly your nightmares.
Getting a good night's sleep is so vital to your health and wellbeing. Please do call your doctor and let us know what happens?
Good luck,
Teri Robert
