No matter what I do, I just can't stop having night terrors. I just had one a few moments ago, and ended up striking my husband by accident. I can't live like this anymore, especially since I cannot control them. I stopped believing in God a while ago, because he never was there for me. Honestly, at this point, I would rather live the rest of my life as an emotionless robot than deal with this s**t anymore. It is wrecking my marriage, and I don't want to risk it. Can I f****** PLEASE for the love of God get killed by radiation already!?

I also suffer from night terrors. Two things seem to help.

1. Prazosin. Even though it's for high blood pressure they also use it off label for night terrors.

2. Alcohol. The doctors and AA folks don't recommend this cure but it sure works for me.

I am also taking Prazosin. However, I am seeing my doctor about this on Wednesday, as he said that he may increase it a little. And I agree that drinking is not recommended. My dad is an alcoholic even though he is on medication for Bipolar Disorder; needless to say, it didn't work well.
