Night Terrors or Panic Attacks? Medications?

Posted by karenR on April 17, 2001, at 11:38:08

I was diagnosed with Night Terrors when I was 25. I've had them all of my life.
I usually wake up a few times a week or month with racing heart, scared to death
and am not easily aroused, and generally don't remember. However, lately, I've
been waking up 3-6 times a night, and I remember about 30% of the time. I can't
breathe (I have anxiety about breathing) and am very upset and not easily comforted.
I am drivng my husband crazy, he's really a saint and trying to help, but I think
the lack of good sleep is getting to him as well as me. I have been taking
Remeron for about 2 months now, at 30mgs for 1.5 weeks. It's supposed to make you sleepy, but I still have
many terrified wakings at night. Does anyone else have Night Terrors or panic
attacks in the night? Can you tell the difference? What are you doing about them?
I feel ok with my anxiety when I go to bed, but I wake within an hour of sleep, and
then another hour later, and so on and so on....

Very tired and frustrated!
