		<link>http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/33835-imovane/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[I have just been put on imovane in addition to my seroquel, as 150mg seroquel and temaz 30mg has not been working. Has anyone tried this? What side effects did you have?  I am just hoping to find something that works. I cant cope with out sleeping for much longer. I need some consistency and some rest. Does anyone else feel that even when they get sleep you aren't rested because its like your boody has spent all night processing the drugs you had to put in you system?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I'm having trouble with my cpap machine. Specifically, I'm taking my mask off in my sleep. Obviously this causes a lot of problems. Any ideas/suggestions?]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So i'm on nuvigil for narcolepsy.  Also to help me focus.  It does keep me awake, but it makes me slightly manic.  My mind races and i'm able to make lists of things to do for the day, who I need to call, etc.  However, my mind doesn't motivate me to do anything!  Nothing at all!  Play on the computer, yes, but it doesn't take physical energy to do that.  I have to take naps throughout the day because my mind becomes so mentally fatigued I feel like I could pull my hair completely out.  I also noticed that my body aches and i'm always tense.  I clench my teeth, making my jaw hurt.  And if anything at all sets me off I am irritable to the max!!!!  It never makes me sad or depressed, just irritable, especially at the end of the day when I realize that I haven't got anything on my list of things to do for the day done.  grrr.<br />
<br />
Any feedback, good or bad would be of much appreciation!!!<br />
<br />
Nothing left in the right brain, nothing right in the left brain....]]></description>

		<title>seroquil nightmares, thrashing in my sleep, waking up with bruises</title>

		<description><![CDATA[i posted about this in my blog but was hoping for some more input. and the situation has changed somewhat. getting to sleep is becoming an ever more difficult task. one that takes hours. i used to be able to take my seroquil at 8:30 and be asleep solidly by 10. as of two weeks ago, this time has been getting later and later. and i am getting more and more tired, bitchy, irritable and generally unstable. i'm almost to the point where i'm afraid of sleep. i can't handle the dreams. but i want to sleep at the same time. because i need it to function. and my med guy wont give me anything but seroquil. and if i tell him it's giving me nightmares he'll pull it. but i'm terrified. my friends die in my dreams. terrible things happen to them. i see it in detail. but i don't remember it once i'm thoroughly awake. thankfully. that i couldn't actually deal with. it would break me. i need to do something. i see med guy in two weeks. i'm debating asking for him to up the seroquil to 100 mg. because 50 isn't cutting it. becasue sleep with nightmares may be worth it. i dont know. i'm really conflicted. he's completely against and actual sleeping pills or benzodiazapines. because i have a history of drug use. because i was honest about it. <br />
[my time limes with the dreams are kinda off. i can't keep the nights straight. i try. but it doesn't really work"<br />
but he seroquil thing is nasty double edged sword. i dont really feel like re-typing this whole thing so ctrl-v from my blog: <br />
[yesterday]<br />
i haven't had dreams in a very long while. but last night [5 nov] was something all together different. eleven hours of generalized evil. indescribable. i don't remember exactly what was going on in my head but i do remember waking up repeatedly. only to crash back into some strange world. but getting to sleep is another story all together. more seroquil will mean more nightmares. i don't like this whole brain being awake while the body is asleep. but at the same time, my body isn't asleep. more thrashing. more trashed bedding, quilts, everywhere. more bruises, arms. legs. <br />
<br />
[previously]<br />
i keep waking up with more bruises. i thrash in my sleep. neither my med guy nor my therapist have any sort of solution for me. i have no solution for me. i thrash so hard i wake up. blankets thrown about, freezing, sweating, i wipe my self off, go back to sleep. i've padded the walls in the corner that my bed is pushed into with pillows. six of them. i've cocooned my self with down quilts. and heavy blankets. but the blankets also are supposed to prevent the thrashing. i don't know what to do anymore. i'm exhausted. and sleep no longer comes easily. i think my subconscious is afraid of the repercussions of sleep. but i haven't really remembered any dreams since i was a young child. untill i'm tired of waking up exhausted and sore. i'm so sick of that shit. maybe it's a stress thing.]]></description>

		<title>am i dreaming? *echo* *echo*</title>
		<link>http://www.crazyboards.org/forums/index.php/topic/33467-am-i-dreaming-echo-echo/</link>
		<description><![CDATA[To start with I have very very vivid dreams. I do feel movement, feel texture, hear noises, see in color. And my dreams most of the time have plots..hrmm...<br />
<br />
So a week and a half ago I was sleeping and woke up from a dream and I was convulsing. Either I stopped dreaming, dreamed something else, then went back to the first dream....or I actually woke up convulsing and then went back to sleep.<br />
<br />
I havent told any of my doctors because I dont really know what happened. Im sure they would conclude I was dreaming because I feel movement in my normal dreams.<br />
<br />
Should I be concerned? I have a history of psychogenic seizures. But the question I cant get over is did it really happen?<br />
<br />
So how do you tell from dream versus reality?<br />
<br />
