Astral Projection and an Anti-depressant (Citalopram)

[BrainStorm_wow]

I've been able to project from a lucid dream about four times. In my dreams i learned that if i stare and focus on an object the dream images would disappear. Although I never managed to do much in the astral, I'd just project in my room and most of the time my vison would be distorted in some way, for example the room would usually appear too dark. I recently been pre-scribe citalopram which is an anti-depressant and since then I've been able to have lucid dreams but not project from them. I even had a dream I told someone I couldn't project because I was on an anti-depressant. Is there any other methods I could try? I've also tried saying awareness now in my dreams and that doesn't help either. Should I try sleeping on my back rather then my side. 3 out of the 4 times i projected I was sleeping on my side, however when I was on my back thats when I had the clearest projection. Could it be the medicine that is holding me back? Before I was pre-scribed the medicine there was one occasion where I wasn't able to project with my usual technique, so it might not be the medicine. What are your thoughts? Also, I'd like to keep taking the medicine because it does keep me balance and without it not only am I more prone to depression, but I'm also more prone to being angry.

Hi.  I take wellbutrin and I am also trying to project.  I have not really had a conscious projection yet but some interesting experiences (like falling out of my body but couldnt see, but I felt like i rolled onto the floor).
This is just my opinion, but I think that you can still project while on an antidepressant.  It just depends where your thoughts are and how you control them.  It may make it a little harder (or in my case i think it may be easier since i can relax easier).  I don't know what you can do to get there but I would keep trying.

I think it just depends on where your thoughts are.  Make sure they are away from your body when you are trying to project.

good luck!

Whoever told you that doesn't know what they're talking about. I've been on wellbutrin for 7 years and have no problem at all projecting. Good luck!
