Hi all
Ive been on serequel approx a year now and rely on it for sleep. My dosage has been slowly rising as I require more and more of the drug to get me to sleep at night. Its not working effectively now and I find I am awake for longer and longer periods. Im awake up to 24 hours before I can take it and get to sleep each night/day. It makes me feel dirty and awful but lately the meds have taken a more sinister turn.
Lately, in the last week or so its being inspiring fear in me. It seems to be a chemical reaction at larger/unaccoustomed does of feeling fearful and terrorized. If I could stop taking it i would but then theres the sleep problem.
Whats happening is Im starting to see appiritions just one layer down in a waking dream. upon seeing these things Im jolted back to awareness and so the cycyle continues. My parents had to sit with me one night when I started seeing hands coming through the window and getting engulfed in darkness. My mum said my heart was beating 100 beats a second.
Its weird the appritions are stalking me in waking dreams, a few layers under reality. The other night I would dose off and wake to the bizzarely real feeling of having teeth ripped out of my sockets. I sware it felt exactly like someone was ripping teeth out of my mouth. Disturbing.
Ok these waking dreams are disturbing to the point of me dreading taking the stuff every night I was just wondering what can be a good alternative medication for sleeping? Because serequel seems to have lost its utility and the dream visions are the cincher. I dont like the feeling like some ******* is ripping my teeth out!
Any advice would be apprecitated
