Because I have intense sleep terrors almost every night, I dread going to sleep. I don't remember having nightmares, but I will wake myself up screaming, and my heart will be racing. Before I fully wake up, I have a feeling of dread, like I am dying. The worst ones have been when I have gotten out of bed and ran or screamed uncontrollably over and over. I have tried numerous OTC remedies such as Benadryl and Melatonin, and the neurologist has prescribed Lunesta, which worked for a few months, and then didn't anymore. I'm desperate for a "cure." Not only am I frightening family members, I feel exhausted in the morning.
