Do you have any recurring hallucinations?
Are there any particular sleep paralysis/hallucinations that you find you have constantly?
Yes, every night before I started treatment with sodium oxybate
What a relief that must be,
. Have you been taking sodium oxybate for long? I hope it continues to be effective and that sleep paralysis and hallucinations are a thing of the past for you. Warmly, Lori (Team Member)
one of my triggers is edibles. I do not eat them anymore, I avoid sleep paralysis this way, When I start to feel numb I start moving my fingers and toes. This has my body moving and I can get out of the paralysis this way, I have had no episodes.
I am glad you figured out edibles are a trigger,
. Were they helping you sleep at night? If so, have you found an alternative? Wishing you the best. - Lori (Team Member)
Yes
Since I've been on medication, they have lessened. Before medication, I used to get little girls, men, short cloaked figures, small animals, spiders, antelopes, and a pirate. 😅 During sleep paralysis, I heard someone breaking into the house. They came into my room and stole things and left. I hate sleep paralysis. It is scary. The hallucinations arent so scary anymore. They only happen every few months. The last time I hallucinated, the little girl came and stood next to the bed. She had a friend with her and she actually made a noise. That's the only time they've made any noise. Hallucinations usually happen soon after I lay down and I'm still awake. The little girl is recurring. How frightening,
. I am glad the medication is helping, especially with sleep paralysis, and that you've been able to cope with the hallucinations. I have only experienced sleep paralysis when I've had a fever and tried to nap. Needless to say, I never nap when I am feverish anymore. - Lori (Team Member)
Yes, both.
