I have been plagued by sleep paralysis for a while now. I have been experiencing a lot of grief at work and am under an unbelievable amount of stress. I now experience sleep paralysis almost daily now. I will wake up in the morning and not be able to move. But I now have been experiencing new symptoms. After I finally am able to move my arms and legs, I lay there and can't open my eyes. I have even poked myself in the eye trying to get them open. Then they just hurt for a couple of hours. I would like to know if anyone else who experiences sleep paralysis has ever had an increase of episodes with stress and have they ever not been able to open their eyes.
I thought sleep para. was VERY scarry. I almost was afraid to sleep. Ever since Prozac, I never had it again. I know medicines work differently on different people, but I thought I would share to try and help. Prozac also helps to slightly supress REM and gives you a little bit more deep sleep that we need as N's. good luck!
