Thank you, everybody. I appreciate it. I did get a good night's sleep last night
and good blood test results today. I feel almost like myself, too -- just
checking in -- Susan

I used to take Ambiem and it caused very vivid dreams and nightmares, my husband takes it some now and has vivid dreams also. Benadryl in his i.v. at the hospital caused him to see things that wern't there i.e. the nurse and I playing cards across his chest, he also saw a friend of ours walk in the room (she was 40 miles away at the time), Meds can do weird things to the mind.

Yes that particular side effect of "night terrors" is in teeny tiny print somewhere under "other side effects" and they say affect such a small minority that its hardly mentioned. Problem is that its probably more common than you think..it just doesn't get reported. When you're on multiple drugs its much harder to determine which is doing it without baselining the drugs...and the other problem is it doesn't always start immediately with the drug..you might be 2 or 3 weeks into it before it happens. Mine was easy to diagnose as it was the only drug i was taking and my cardiologist remembered the fine print and used the term "textbook case".
Well i hope you can narrow it down Susan...you need some quality sleep.
