Queenie Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Has anyone ever had sleep walking as a side effect of medications? I'm on fluvoxamine and olanzapine Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rowan77 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 I have been walking in my sleep since I was a kid and certain things trigger it for me including extreme tiredness, high stress levels and medications. I know that some sleeping tablets can cause sleepwalking, ambien in particular. I used to sleep walk when l was on zopiclone and go wandering around the house at night doing various stuff. However the time I did my most sleep walking and was very confused was when I was on olanzapine. When I was on olanzapine I would eat in my sleep and wander around and found asleep in various strange places, one being standing up, holding onto the banister. Two years ago when I was in the hospital, I was taking olanzapine and several other medications and I think I walked in my sleep most nights. According to the nurses I used to take all my clothes off and wander around the ward in a confused state, urinating on the floor and mumbling incoherently Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Right Honourable Jimmy Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Yeah I've been sleepwalking recently, or maybe I'm not and I don't remember what I was doing. That's on Ambien though. I found seroquel made me sleepwalk but that's when it increased a bit and I was manic at the time as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
