Accepted Answer

Neurozan: I have read through the rather extensive list of components in neurozan  and the only component that i can see that is known to cause nightmares is vitamin b6. Contains 10 mg vitamin b6 which is five times the general recommended amount. If you happen to be taking other forms of vitamin b6 then it could be the combination causing problems. The best way for you to find out whether it is causing the nightmares is for you is to stop it and see if they go away and then restart it. If the nightmares return that i think you have your answer. Best wishes.
