In reply to Is anybody having nightmares?, posted by Anike on August 21, 2004, at 22:49:03
I have had a lot of sleep disturbances over the years, nightmares, sleep-paralysis, and I think I know what you're talking about when you refer to electrical noises. Soon after falling asleep my eyes would open and I would hear a zapping sound, as if I was having a seizure. Very frightening. From what I have heard this is a strange sleep disturbance not related to medications (and I have never been on Effexor... but I don't know for certain.
Do check with your doctor and I hope you find good advice on this forum. All I can recommend, and in light of your suffering this may seem like lukewarm advice but it really has helped me, and that is to take some time each day to find peace. Meditation, breathing excercises, prayer, listening to beautiful music, drinking tea. Sleep is influenced by our emotions in the day. So try to make peace happen.
