Yeh could be meds or your injury has upset your REM sleep. Follow it up, don't want to find yourself on a roof or somewhere. Definitely do not leave it and hope it goes away.
I was acting out my dreams until put on Clonazapam before that I was a risk to myself and others. Not being melodramatic just know it only takes once for something unfortunate to happen. |

Clonazepam and other benzos are not recommended for long term use, especially for those of us with a brain injury.

After being put on 50 mg of Amitryptiline, which has sedative effects, during the night I would fall asleep on the toilet (no dignity!), "come to" in the living room, and would have zombie like walks.
As mentioned above, those accidents in a sleeping/semi-conscious state are a concern. In one incident, I sprained my knee and badly injured three toes on my foot... so glad I'm no longer on that A/D. |
