I'm scared to death. I've been having really weird and scary dreams for the past several nights. None of my meds are new, & I take them the same time daily, and just recently I've been having the same dream or variations of it. Mostly it is around the same dream, but there are other pieces of other dreams thrown in there. I'm not sure what I remember. I'm all confused and scared TO DEATH!!!! Is this pychotic features? I can't tell if some of it was real or not. I can't diferentiate (sp).
I take trazodone 50-100mg/night, paxil cr 50mg/night and vistaril 25mg/3xdaily when needed...all low doses.
I'm freakin' out. I really am. The more I think about it the more aggitated I get and the antsier I am. I am about to scream, I can't leave work until 5:10 or so. I really don't want to go home either because I'm scared to sleep.
HELP ME YALL. I really think that something is after me in my sleep, I just can't think of another reason why this is happening.
My grandmother had dream visions that came true. I've had those same visions in the past, but not for YEARS, I can't have these dreams come true. Too scary!!!!

I am so sorry. I've had dreams like that off and on for the past 2 weeks. I was also scared to go to sleep. Sleeping with the light on helped and sleeping on the couch instead of my bed helped me some. I hope that helped some. I wish there was more I could do.

Vista,
Thank you. I did sleep on the couch with the tv on all night and it wasn't as bad. I didn't wake up all soaked in sweat, so that is a good thing. My Mom asked if I had eaten anything spicy before going to bed and I try never to eat w/in a few hours of going to bed because I always have had vivid dreams when I do.
But....I really am scared that maybe something is up with the bed. I believe in spirits, ghosts. Oh well.....I better get to work. I am not as sleepy as I have been, that is a good sign of a well rested sleep instead of my thrashing and sweating.
Thanks again,
Carla
Carla,
You need to call your pdoc...and one other thing...you aren't on any BP meds...do you know why that is?
Carla,
Trazadone is an antidepressant that helps with sleep...paxil is an antidepressant...and vistaril helps with anxiety...but you aren't on a mood stabilizer at all.
Thank you so much. I'm leaving at 2 today, hopefully they can fit me in. I'll update everyone Monday. If I remember, my memory is really getting cloudy also.
Carla
You're welcome...remember to be VERY honest with your pdoc!
Carla,
I hope by now you've seen the pdoc.
Glad I helped some Carla. I am sooo glad I finished reading this thread. I didn't know just how important it is to tell your pdoc everything. I'm very glad to be out of my IOP program and with my regular pdoc, whom I actually like.
