Sleep Paralysis

[jmoller12]

I am a 20F, I am currently taking adderol 20mg when I need to study, and Xanax to help me with panic attack, as well as Suboxone. I have been suffering with hypnopompic Sleep Paralysis- I wake up, usually from a day-time nap, unable to move or talk. I always brushed it off as a dream until it lasted for about an hour, I fell on the floor and was found there. During this time of Paralysis i got overheated, excessive sweating, and couldnt stop biting my tongue. These episodes have started up again recently, and occur more often. Does anyone know if this a side effect of any of the above medications.

Hello and hope you are doing well.

Your symptoms could also be seizure activity, only an EEG (electroencephalogram) can help confirm this. This is done under the guidance of a neurologist. For symptoms such as these consult your family doctor and have them check you out. He may then refer you to a neurologist for an objective assessment of symptoms. An MRI of the spinal cord and brain may also help to arrive at a diagnosis.  

Hope this helped and do keep us posted.
