Hi Brandywine,, one of my boys, who is now 13, has had several episodes himself, or so we think. All the symptoms of night terrors yet he also I cant recall either right before onset or shortly thereafter, he was sick with fever,,, very very lethargic, not himself, in bed for 2 days, acted very odd. Anyway the drs first did drug test....i freaked with the thought...but a child these days must be aware of things that we never had to think twice about. Like stamps and tiny dot candies that are sold in convenience stores, can now be drops of acid or laced stamps or stickers that are sold on the streets and across the schools nationwide. So tests were negative they then ruled on night terrors. He would wake up, and look as tho they are awake and some function as awake, my son would talk to me, walk, everything normal yet his eyes were more like zombied or 'not there'...he then during first episode starting 'freaking out',,, scared and wondered why he heard the humming real loud, and everything was going in fast motion. He gladly wanted to go to the hospital er, and begged me to slow down, i was only driving 15, he thought i was flying. After about 15 min into, he appears fine and wonders what happened yet couldnt recall exactly what had just happened nor did he know what was scaring him and what not. The second and third episodes were more like he was scared of something around us,, and clung to me and desperately crying for help, and 'dont let them come'. He is not mental in any way shape or form, and all that was ruled out, as 'I' was absolutely scared to death in what id witnessed. I couldnt sleep at night, worried all day everyday, as you dont know if theyll ever go away. The dr said he would outgrow them, and never put him on any meds. He did outgrow the night terrors and is absolutely normal. He didnt have add nor did he have adhd but i dont think that has anything to do with the night terrors. Of course, just my opinion. My sons nt's started also at age 9.
