Could your sleep-walking activities or parasomnia be tied to your SSRI medications (past and present)? Parasomnias and Antidepressant Therapy: A Review of the Literature

Sleepwalking May Be More Common Than You Think

I know that when was put on Benzos for anxiety, I never reached Stage 4 Deep Sleep or Stage 5 Rem Sleep. Then, my body boomeranged for a year after I stopped the Benzos and I had terrible side effects and parasomnia for 12 months. When I took an SSRI for sleep (Seroquel), it made me hallucinate during the day, and kept me awake all night. So, I stopped that. Then I tried another SSRI and that made me sleep-walk, sleep-talk, sleep-drive, sleep-cook, sleep-clean and I had to get off of that.

So, I realize that maybe you need an SSRI and can't just go off of it. Maybe you could try to switch to another one that your body responds better to, and doesn't have any side effects that mess with your sleep.

Sorry you are going through this. Sleep is so important.
