For the past couple weeks, I have had on and off rough nights where I wake up after seemingly acting out my dreams.

My legs and arms feel exhausted when I wake up. I've woken up twice with my body in movement - like running or flailing around.

It's gotten a little violent. Once I almost hurt someone trying to wake me. The movements were while I was still asleep just seconds before I woke up. I've also punched the wall once.

I'm currently on Welbutrin and take Xanax very occasionally as needed, but the past couple weeks I have only taken the Xanax twice.

I'm afraid to tell my doctor because I'm afraid of something like involuntary hospitalization. I'm also afraid of NOT telling my doctor because I really don't want to hurt anyone or myself.

I'm so afraid of what I might do and I can't control it because I'm not conscious. This is all very sudden.

This seems to fit the description of REM Sleep Behavior Disorder with one exception - I don't remember my dreams. I know the dream was bad, I can feel the mood of the dream I just had, but I can't remember the content of the dream.

I plan on filming myself but I'm afraid of what I might see.

Anyone been through this?? What should I do? What can I expect?
