• This paper is concerned with the existence of unstable stationary solutions for nonlinear stochastic differential equations (SDEs) with additive white noise. Assume that the nonlinear term $f$ is monotone (or anti-monotone) and the global Lipschitz constant of $f$ is smaller than the positive real part of the principal eigenvalue of the competitive matrix $A$, the random dynamical system (RDS) generated by SDEs has an unstable $\mathscr{F}_+$-measurable random equilibrium, which produces a stationary solution for nonlinear SDEs. Here, $\mathscr{F}_+ = \sigma\{\omega\mapsto W_t(\omega):t\geq0\}$ is the future $\sigma$-algebra. In addition, we get that the $\alpha$-limit set of all pull-back trajectories starting at the initial value $x(0) = x\in\mathbb{R}^n$ is a single point for all $\omega\in\Omega$, i.e., the unstable $\mathscr{F}_+$-measurable random equilibrium. Applications to stochastic neural network models are given.
