Anything is possible. but I doubt if it's PTSD. Sounds more like you were zoning on memories from your meds. Talk to your T about it. |

What you described sounds just like a hypnosis exercise. Maybe you become so relaxed from your meds, that you went into a hypnotic state. In hypnotic states, you can remember things from your past that you have repressed. Since hypnosis takes you into your sub-conscience, it can show you things your conscience/awake mind does not "know". That fact you state that you felt glued to your bed definitely suggests a hypnotic state.
Or it may be possible that you had hallucinations brought on by your meds. You should look up the possible side effects of Seroquel. When I have flashbacks from PTSD, they're usually brought on by something like a sound or smell. Although, I'm sure if I was taking medication that helped me sleep, I may have flashbacks at that time also. PTSD has many symptoms. You say that you were upset and shocked by it, which shows you have other feelings with it, so it's not just flashbacks. Also repressed memories are from dissociation, which suggests you at least have experienced the avoidance symptoms of PTSD at sometime in your life.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
