Yes very violent worse than anything you would see in a horror film, in fact I couldnt believe my own imagination was capable of such violence and depravity it was quite disturbing.  I got used to it in the end though.  I am on a different med now and still get wierd dreams though not as violent.

How long are you on Paxil.  In the beginnining it could increase you anxiety causing vivid nightmares.

No not really, cause I just went up a couple mg two and half weeks ago.  And now the bad dreams are starting to get less frequent.  So maybe it's a side effect that will fade with time.
