Last night, I was in the middle of a dream and felt my entire body jolt for a few seconds. It woke me up. The previous night, I awoke in a half dream state and felt my shoulder and leg move for no reason. After the scare last night, I went on-line to research seizure in REM sleep. One article I read stated seizures can occur in any part of the sleep stages. With this in mind, I called my doctor and spoke to the doc on call. He said it may or may not have been a seizure, so what did he want me to do. I said, I think that I could increase my neurontin from 2x/day to 3X/day. He said that would be fine and follow up Monday with my MD. I have been on Wellbutrin XL for 1/2 weeks, Lexapro for 6 weeks, neuronting several months. I told the doc that on my 1st week of Lexapro I felt my leg violently jerk at night. He said that's benign. So, what was that scare last night? I have never had any thing like it and I hope that if it was a seizure that the neurontin will prevent another one. I am limited to these meds. I have tried the gambit. What do you think?
