Dreams

[Nev1]

My wife started having vivid and violent dreams and started shouting in her sleep a year before she was diagnosed with PD. As she was not on any medication at the time PD must play a part, certainly in her case. Subsequently she has fallen out of bed twice and still shouts sometimes. We have now put a thick yoga mat on the floor and she sleeps with a cushion between her and the edge of the bed.

I have Atypical Parkinson’s, Arthritis, Peripheral Neuropathy & High Blood Pressure.
I started taking Amitriptyline [10mg] 3 weeks ago. It is the only drug I take. It has lowered my blood pressure, I have no Arthritic trouble, the numbness in my leg muscles has gone & a foot ulcer completely healed. The day before yesterday was my best day for years. I felt amazing, there seemed to be nothing wrong with me. I even walked for a mile, which I normally cannot do. These pills also help me get off to sleep, again something I struggle to do without them.

BUT the last two night’s I have had incredibly real disturbing dreams / nightmares, to the extent that when I woke up the dream was reality till I worked out it had been a dream a few minutes later. Anyone want to buy an imaginary horse I bought in the more pleasant of the two dreams I had? It is white in colour & goes like the clappers.

Normally I am a light sleeper & my bed rarely looks slept in. This morning my bed under-sheet was on the floor with my pillows.

I would welcome opinions on what I should do please. Do I tell the people treating me, who will no doubt take me off this wonderful medication that is helping me during day light hours. Has anyone had similar experiences? Will the dreams stop?

Best wishes

weird dream one day can hit me too
