It’s well known that drugs such as antidepressants (particularly SSRIs) and benzodiazepines suppress REM sleep,it’s also well known that REM sleep is crucial for memory,cognition,consolidation of memory and many other important functions,my question is what are the long term outcomes of drugs that suppress REM?

I take an antidepressant daily and definitely notice that it gives me more and more vivid dreams. What is really wild though is if I forget a dose I get sucked in to these crazy intense and trippy dreams, to the point where I barely feel rested/find it hard to drag myself awake. It’s definitely weird!
