Hi, your symptoms are suggestive of Nightmare disorder, or dream anxiety disorder, which is a sleep disorder characterized by frequent nightmares or vivid dreams. Nightmare can be defined type of a dream wherein the individuals will be left in a situation where it jeopardizes their life or personal safety, usually occur during the second half of the sleeping process, called the REM stage.
It can occur normally in persons but in this disorder it occurs at higher frequency. That is why you are reluctant to sleep and will affect your day to day activities.
Paroxetine is associated with sleep disorders like insomnia or samnolence (sleepiness) and also can be associated with anxiety. Along with that stress, anxiety can be precipitating factors for your symptoms.
This disorder can be managed by self by alleviating the home and personal life related stress particularly before going to bed. A regular fitness routine, Yoga and meditation can also help to eliminate stress and create a more peaceful sleeping atmosphere and provides a relaxed state of mind. Psychotherapy can also help you to learn how to cope and deal with the various stressors in your life.
Do not worry, follow the above mentioned methods and the symptoms will alleviate soon. I suggest you to consult psychiatrist. Take care and regards.
Oh, one correction... I take 3 grams not 300 mgs of the Acetyl L Carnatine every day.
Berto,
I would definitely check into the possibility that you may have hyperthyroid. I had almsot the exact same symptoms and this was the cause. I keep me hyperthyroid under control now very well with daily supplement of 300 mg Acetyl L Carnatine, 2 mg copper, and 40 drops twice a day of a bugleweed, motherwort tincture. These have all been shown to work positively to bring hyperthyroid under control and they have worked for me. I got my sleep back.
