I used to have this, Seesaw. You have my deepest sympathy. It was terrifying! I haven't had an episode in quite some time, mercifully. I've been on Cymbalta for a couple of years or so now. I don't know if that has anything to do with my not having them recently. For many years I didn't understand what was happening to me. It was only relatively recently that I learned about sleep paralysis. My best wishes to you.
