| | Notices | Welcome to PTSD Forum. Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is a life threatening, debilitating disorder that can break down a sufferer’s body through anxiety and stress. Further it poses a significant suicide risk resulting from the brains neurological imbalance and chemical depression. Sufferers often live in denial, thus this community is aimed at helping PTSD sufferers help themselves through others experiences, guidance and education. We are here for the sufferer, spouse and families surrounding PTSD. Spouses and family are too often forgotten in this equation, and often they receive all the worst that PTSD has to offer. If you're involved in any way with PTSD, get registered and help yourself now. Non-active members will eventually be deleted. If you are not a sufferer, carer or someone within the mental health industry, and active, then there is little reason for you to be a member of this forum. Non-active members with zero posts are deleted periodically during the year. |  | |

Rob, I would seriously get off those medications mate, because that is the issue if your taking pills to sleep, and these issues are occurring when asleep. I would kick them into touch, get something else. These are adverse side effects that could kill you, or jods even... lets look at facts here. You could end up burning the house down, with you all inside it, without knowing it. The cons here far outweight continueing on this particular medication mate.... |

I remember a mate of mine many moons ago, he nearly burnt down his house, with him in it, because he took a sleeping pill which did something similar, in which he did things during the night, but didn't know what he did, and being a smoker, he lit smokes and left them throughout the house doing whatever he was doing. The rug caught on fire and it was only pure coincidence that his sister happened to come home at that time, as she wasn't due, but saw the flames, got the hose and put them out, then hosed him actually, as he would not wakeup. He never took those again. |

It will always take some time for any medication to withdraw from your system Rob, so don't not expect to maybe have a few more issues... depending on how often and how much you used them. | | Thread Tools | | | | Display Modes |  Linear Mode |
