![]() I honestly think my nightmares could partially stem from adhd and anxiety. I also have been diagnosed with adhd recently as an adult, which explains so much in my life. I read your post a few days ago on my lunch at work but didn’t have time to respond, but that day I started doing reality checks! Wow thank you so much for the response!!! I’ve looked in to lucid dreaming before, and at times I’ve found myself lucid in my dreams - those being some of the best dreams I’ve ever ever had. My biggest issue at the moment is getting to sleep at all but I’m working on that, Mirtazipine doesn’t seem to work for me anymore but I’m trying melatonin and this is my first week! And I am still relearning how to do it but mostly I can recognise I’m dreaming now. It did take a good two or three weeks of reality checks throughout the day for it to bury into my subconscious though. I realised I was dreaming and was able to fly away from the bad things chasing me. All of a sudden I had Lego hands that could pass through each other because I willed it to happen. A few weeks ago I was having a nightmare, something in my subconscious reminded me to check my hands. I will see if I can make my fingers longer, if I can put one hand through the other, Or turn them into Lego! If I can’t do that then I am not dreaming. I find one of the most helpful things For me is throughout the day, I will do a reality check, for example several times a day I will look at my hands. Recent events have brought my terrors on again in a big way so I’m re teaching myself. By George it actually worked! Now it takes practice, and if don’t use it you lose it, I lost it a few years ago now after being pretty good at it but I didn’t need it after a while. ![]() I found some woo woo website in the early 00’s suggesting lucid dreaming for nightmares, figured it was bull but hey nothing else worked. They started with a Stressful childhood and never went away, tablets just made me not wake up from them. Lucid dreaming is legitimately the only thing that solved my night terrors. This whole thing is just pretty scary □ again though, I really appreciate you taking the time to reply □ I also made an appointment with a cardiologist just to be safe. Plus I think lightheaded/dizzy is a side effect of mirtazapine. I was only thinking it had something to do with the mirtazapine, because I've read that it can cause anxiety, which in turn can cause heart rhythm changes and sometimes I get short of breath when it happens. I've noticed a slight blue color to my finger nail beds and what looks like poor circulation in my hands. As far as the panic feeling when the lightheaded thing happens, it's more of a general panic to feeling lightheaded. It's weird, because it's not all the time, but I also get a ringing in my ear ( sometimes left, sometimes right) that only lasts a split second, but when it happens, it's just a ringing and total loss of hearing in that ear. I've seen my doctor about it, and all my test results were good, but they are actually referring me to a ear nose and throat doctor about the lightheaded feeling. Been taking the mirtazapine for a little over a year now, so weird that this is just now happening. Again I know this is an old post, but I'd really appreciate your take on this situation. Wondering if I should lower my nightly dose so it doesn't affect serotonin, but wondering what dose you would recommend so it only effects the antihistamine and not serotonin. I read something about how anxiety can cause your heart to change rhythm and things like that, and wondering if that's happening to me, because I took like 2mg of mirtazapine when I was having the anxiety and lightheaded going on, and it went away in about an hour. ![]() Started with a quarter of that, but now up to about 7 or 8mg a night, but now having circulation issues in my hands, and anxious/lightheaded by like 2pm the following day. I was prescribed 15mg mirtazapine for sleep. Sorry I know this post is super old, but I found your comment to be very interesting.
