Dreams

I have the strangest dreams!  Some are kind of funny and weird, but most of them are strange and disturbing.  I wake up in a sweat and kind of panicky.  I need my sleep, I am caregiver to my husband and really, really would love to get a decent night's sleep. Ugh.

I think they are caused by one of the medications that I take at bedtime, Risperidone.  It's a psych med.  I've talked to my dr about stopping it, also WHY am I taking it...what does it do for me.  I never got a good answer, only solution was to try taking it in the morning.  I said to him, well I can't very well sleep the day away if it makes me drowsy  So I am going to talk to him about it again and get more answers.  Anymore I am for less meds the better.  I am afflicted with depression and anxiety disorder, but I am doing really remarkably well at this point, I am willing to wean off this one medication and see how I do.  When I looked it up on Google, it said it was for Schizophrenia!  Yikes!

Do you have weird dreams, too?  Any suggestions are welcomed!
