Maybe go see a neurologist. S/he might offer to do a sleep study to discover why it is you sleepwalk. And you're right, the boiling water... that's not safe at all. It might not have anything to do with the medication you are taking. Do any of these meds state sleepwalking as a possible side-effect?

Don't forget to mention it Thursday!
Keep us posted!

Hi Marleen,

I spent some time yesterday checking if it's a medication thing. I can't find sleepwalking as a side effect/adverse reaction/problem that comes from taking any of my medications. And I did an interaction checker to see if it could be from the mix of drugs I take, but nothing came up on that, either. So I'll talk to my doctor about it and see if I need a referral to a neurologist or sleep clinic etc.

I was hoping that after I posted this in here, I'd get some "yeah, that happens to me, it's related to our rsd" replies but I didn't, so that has thrown me, lol.

Hopefully I can get on top of this soon and it doesn't happen again!

OK Kate,
I'll own up.
This does happen to me, and seems to be getting worse. I thought I could ignore it, but I suppose I shouldn't.

I have no memory of it in the AM, except for the 'evidence'.
Since I live alone.... I can't suspect anyone else.

I think I can get up and cook, then, I had a bad time with email during the night, (and when taking 'Keppra', I could get short, or curt in these emails.) Thank God for understanding people!!
Ali here, gave me that tip on the 'Keppra'.

My doctor has me dx's as 'transomnnia'.
I've been sleep studied,
got a CPap machine, and and Oxygen concentrator.

I think I've tied this into it, If I forget and fall asleep w/o the CPap, that is when I'm more likely to do this sleep walking / cooking / typing....

While I believe it's due to the RSD somewhat, I also have a brain injury. That's when the real trouble started.
Stress, is a detriment again, with this.

Kate, you're in my thoughts, and prayers, along with your family...

I was taken off Ambien completely last week due to sleep walking. Was taking 5mg for about 6 months then psychiatrist upped it to 10mg about a month ago. I was tired at night but was always getting up to do something. I took our dog for a walk in the middle of the night, trimmed some trees and did yard work - activities I normally do not do at 11PM. When I finally figured out something was wrong was when I thanked my husband for taking down some vines that had been growing wildly. He said he didn't do it. I do not remember doing it. I guess I could call it sleep landscaping.

Have been on sleeping pills (Lunesta and Ambien) for about 7 years. Needless to say I'm having a heck of a time getting any sleep now. Fortunately I see the psychiatrist tomorrow.
