Night terrors & Panic Attacks
I wanted to start this topic on the general bi-polar discussion board, yet this computer and it's restrictions (ward computer) won't let me.
So I am interested - how many people have suffered with night terrors and panic attacks from being a child of growing up to develop them later?
I've always had them but not known them as such until I came across the definition. I'd have night terrors where I'd wake up in sweats screaming and have either monsters chasing me or I'd been falling apart as a person (all my bones dis-esembling). Anyone else have anything to share?

I have had night terrors but drug induced.. a number of our meds can trigger them.. my husband has terrible nightmares all of the time starting from childhood.. you and he should become friends... this is one of the worst things for him and no one in psych seems to think it\'s a big deal... it is!
I\'d be happy to be friends!
If he could send the request, that\'d be great. I have had terrible dreams when I was on Mirtazipine, Olanzapine and Venlaxfaxine.
I have crazy dreams....sometimes they are done in some sort of animation, often I travel to parallel universes and hunted by demonic beings. I have them every night and it takes a couple of hours in the morning to separate the things that happened the day before and the nightmares i have all night....if you want to chat just let me know.
I hear ya WhoMe.
I\'ve been in those \'trance like\' states while waking and asleep. I actually enjoy them a great deal from time to time.
