SSRI Causing Sleep paralysis?

Posted by Red_Rach on March 1, 2006, at 20:30:38

Just over 2 weeks ago I stopped prozac and started Celexa at 20mg. On Sunday I increased the Celexa to 40mg. Since increasing the celexa I have been having very vivid and strange dreams, I have also had 2 episodes of what I think is sleep paralysis. The first time while having a vivid dream I became aware of an inability to move or speak, this feeling wore of and I continued to sleep. Tonight I had another episode, except I woke up. Upon waking I couldnt move or speak, and felt very strange. I was trying to shout and bang for help but was unable to, I began to panic. Eventually I was able to move as normal.

Could this be caused by the increase in Celexa?

Its a very frightening experience and the dreams are concerning.
