Answers:
horrible. Its like being awake, but dreaming at the same time. So you hear all the "sounds" in your dream, but you're awake and conscious, you cant open your eyes, or scream or cry or even move
its the most terrifying thing in the world to me
Sometimes I lay there and feel like someone is trying to push me or roll me off the bed, someone touching me, hearing footsteps or I here this loud sound that is just terrifying and I can't move for the life of me.
After about a minute or so I finally end up managing to scream and am able to sit up...
ive become an insomniac over there years due to the horrible dreams that i have and the paralysis. If I dont sleep I dont have to experience it.
Dr's put me on 10mg of Ambien and klonopin... klonopin did nothing... ambien caused me to eat at night and see the walls move and hallucinate.
only thing that really helped me was 150mg of seroquel at bedtime.
