Nonstop sleep paralysis

I am almost a month sober but have been having issues with this every night. I am an epileptic and on meds but my brain paralyzes my body while I am dreaming and I know it while asleep. I can't snap out of it and have tried moving a finger or toe when really in my dream I'm getting up and running and falling down. I wake up to find I haven't moved at all.

It happens every night and I'm afraid to go back to sleep. My neuro ordered a sleep study for narcolepsy and found nothing (but sleep apnea). Anyone have any advice on how to wake up out of this faster? Sometimes I feel like I'm going to die in my dreams. Please no advice on lucid dreaming, I wake up screaming and this is ruining my life. Thanks.
