I don't post on here often, there's almost too much to say and writing posts on here takes it out of me a bit.
But I was started on citalopram about 6 weeks ago as I had sunk to a very low point and have been struggling with sleep and dreaming since then. Every night I have very restless sleep and vivid, very emotional dreams what feels like all night. I wake feeling exhausted, with the emotions of the dreams still affecting me (like if someone did something bad to you in a dream and you still feel angry at them when awake). Specifically, I'm having extremely angry dreams. Usually I totally lose it with someone in my dream, just go mad yelling at them. In person I never lose my temper, I've maybe lost my temper with someone twice in the last 5 years. Of course, because I'm tired, my cognitive issues are worse, word finding, explaining things, making decisions etc etc. I imagine it's as simple as being angry at my situation and this coming out in my dreams, but I was wondering whether anyone else is having similar experiences? When I am not sleeping well, I get run down and get ill easily, also get cold sores which make me feel even worse. Going to see my GP next week to go over it all, as I'm struggling. Also, wondering if anyone has a Fit Bit? It's a pedometer but also measures sleep through it's accelerometer. I've been able to look at my sleep pattern, how restless/interrupted my sleep is, how many hours and minutes of actual sleep I got, it's really interesting. I'd be very interested to compare sleep patterns with someone else with PCS |
