I've had bad dreams on antidepressants, but this was different. It was waking up as I was drifting into sleep with a horrible fear and not knowing where I was. Very scary. I'm calling it night terrors, but I'm not sure that's what it was. I think night terrors are considered part of panic disorder. The usual treatment for panic is SSRI antidepressants and/or klonopin. Up to this point that's worked for me. I was wanting to know if anyone else had experienced this particular phenomenon (not just nightmares) and what has worked for them. Thanks for your input!
