[Diss Posable]

Hello.

So I just recently had my first taste of , I thought I was becoming a schizophrenic at first which scared me, a lot.

Anyway, I didn't enjoy it AT ALL, the first night it happened I thought I was snapping mentally, I headed a loud whisper of a word I couldn't quite make out, it sounded so real... It woke me up in a panic and I sat up in bed on my phone looking up what the hell had just happened to me, I took it as a one off and tried to ignore it, while deciding to stay awake, at 5 in the morning, after going to bed at half 12.

Then the very next night I had a dream I can't quite recall, I was a soldier who was rescuing my old school friends, but it wasn't a nightmare, I don't think anyway. I woke up in a weird hazy state, again I could hear a very real sounding noise, like metal plates hitting together, I tried to ignore it, then I started to see flashing lights in my room and heard the sound of car doors opening. That was it for me, I forced myself up and to my phone again, heart pounding and questioning my sanity.

That was last night and the night before, both times went to bed at 12ish and woke up around 5.

You might have guessed, but this terrified me, I don't want it to happen again at all.

I have some prozac I was given for depression a while ago, will that help me at all? Maybe if it lifts my spirits a bit I won't be so afraid of going to sleep at least?

Sorry, I posted this once somewhere else and lost it totally, I'm really new to this site, about 10 minuets new.

Thanks for any help guys!

Medications such as Prozac can cause the Intense noises in your head. Tell your Doctor about your dream experiences. Medications can and do disrupt sleep.

I've experienced Hypnagogic/Hypnopompic hallucinations before there really scary. Sometimes it only lasts a few minutes but its awful. I would be lying down and I couldn't move when I'd hear the sound of breathing so I'd look to the side of my bed and realize that there was a figure of a man standing over me and watching. I would be petrified!

I learned though while reading that you can help yourself during one of these moments by clenching your fists or moving as much as you can to remind yourself that is not real! Even though at the time it will feel like it. Also as soon as your able put a light on and the feeling will disapear. I hope this helps

Yes I know what you mean, it doesn't mean you are going psychotic. They are fairly common and not indicative of any psychotic disorder. From what I've read they are more related to sleep disorders than any kind of mental illness.
