Hi Wisewoman,

Pain medication can have that effect on me too - making more strange dreams, and more sleep talking likely. You might talk with your physician about it, and see if they have any suggestions. You might be able to add in another medication to help. I take Benadryl at night sometimes (an over-the-counter antihistamine) to help with sleep. It is pretty mild. If your physician says it is okay to take that along with your other medications, it may help you sleep better and could be worth a try.

Take care,
