Nightmares and pills - SoberRecovery : Alcoholism Drug Addiction Help and Information

ARIES · 10-04-2004, 12:45 PM

Hi there..It's the second time in row I had terrible nightmares..Just like the ones I had when I had an hangover..It always goes together with a kind of rush in my head..In a way it hurts me Physical..It's for years now I went to schrinks and doctors because I had to of my parents and court..They never gave me a diagnose but last months we were trying with different kind of pills..In the first place I'm an addict..And because of the joints I smoked all day long day in and out I starded to get a bit paranoid especialy bout my boyfriend..I starded to get jealous and thought every women that passed our house (we live on the groundfloor)were looking in because of my boyfriend..It's like this that I been alone for all my life and not really used to relationships...It drove my boyfriend nuts

and he would stop the relationship if I would'nt do something bout my problem and he wanted to stop me smoking that pot I did that ...And the paranoia went away..But the doctors gave me pills (SOLIAN..Do'nt know if it's the same name in the U.K or the states)Anyhow they did'nt fit me very well..I did'nt get out of my bed ..Did'nt had feelings when I was making love with my boyfriend and did'nt menstruate..Last week I starded takin' an half time to time because I want to stop with them..Maybe that's why I had those nightmares..But I realy wonder if anybody recognise the feeling of that rush in your body that goes up to your head? I had a lot of those nightmares ..they always are very demonic and mostly it seems like I am in my room the room changes and like last night a lot of creatures are comming to tease me and I was shouting to my boyfriend to wake me up and pushing him with my legs to wake me up..But like last night I woke up because he entered the door..Because he went to make a sandwich in the kitchen..I asked him if I did'nt move before or pushing him with my legs..or shout his name..He told me I did'nt..Now today when I was awake I felt time to time the same rush in my head

just like you have the flew but anyhow different..I asked a lot of times to people if someone recognised this feeling when they had a nightmare but noone does..I could'nt go to work because of the nightmare cos I slept till 2 o clock (it's a vollunteer job but that makes no different)I'm a kind of afraid to go asleep cos once I had such nightmares 5 nights in a row..it was terrible..Is there anybody who recognize this rush in the head..It feels like all your body is shaking and there's a rush in the head... :headache: Yes exactly like this smilie..Hugs from Stefanie

Hey Stef

I wish I had some answers for you. But..... I've always had nighmares, regardless of the meds I'm on.

You refer to the rushing feeling in the head and shaking in the body when you have nightmares. I've had that occasionally.

You also mention having had nightmares for 5 days in a row??? Yikes!

Don't know that I can relate except I'm wondering if what you are feeling is the same way I feel when I forget to take my Effexor?'

It feels almost like lightening going thru my body or a single appendage and then up to my head in a flash. It's almost like a very huge and fast wave runs through my blood viens or something. Eye movement seems to trigger most of them. They are very uncomfortable feeling

, which is good for me b/c I'm always forgetting to take my meds so this is like an internal alarm to remind me. Like I said, I have no idea if that is what you are feeling or not...probably not.

good luck with everything.

Shelly...I did the same thing. I punched my x-fiance in the back while we were sleeping. I was dreaming that I was fighting one of the girls that he had been secretly talking to while I had been working and going to school full time. Not long after...I completely kicked him out of bed.

An awful way to be woke up I guess....but I didn't feel too bad because I was supporting us both and he had starting getting physically violent with me while withdrawing from pot because he starting drinking instead. I guess I couldn't bring myself to fight back while awake so....my unconscience did the butt kicking for me. lol

(It may sound like it, but I'm really not a mean person...he just REALLY deserved it!)
