Talking On the Phone

Not Talking At 21 Months

I am over this! I mean truly over this. I started about two months ago having conversations in my sleep and answering them clearly. So clear, my son can hear me in the room ajacent to mine. One time I was giving directions to someone. And now tonight (this is why I am awake!) I heard my son say " You had such a coughing spell, you woke me up". I heard myself answer him and say " I'm sorry, I didn't mean to wake you up". By then I had woke myself up and I heard him say " What are you sorry about" He heard me as usual but not as clear cause the bathroom door was close that devides our bedrooms. It is usally open so he can hear me if I need him. Now this is happening every night! Yes, every night. I told my GP about it and she put me on Limectal. I have an appointment with my general neurologist tomorrow and will mention it to him. I really think I am going nuts. I have NEVER talked in my sleep untill the past couple of months.
When I do, I have verification because my son hears me answering.

Any thoughts on this one. This is NOT like me at all. Something is drastically wrong here. Confused

Hello Carrie

This Is Definatley Not Schizopherina As You Would Hear Voices All Day Long I Know 2 People Who Live By Me With That.
And As Its Only Happening At Night That Is a Worry And Anxiety Problem Some Things Are Un-Explainable.

I Have Never Told Anyone This Before But I Wil Tell You

For Three Months Solid In The Night I Thought People Were Talking To Me And Iwould Talk Back But At The Same Time It Was Asif I Was Sleepling. But Still Talking And People Would Talk Back At Me And Answer Me At Times People Would Shout. I Thought I Was Crazy Then I Seen A Pshychiartrist.
I Thought I Was Hearing Voices As It Only Happend In Night. I Carnt Explain How Weird It Was.

Maybe not the same but...

I had situations while on Effexor, whereby I would clearly hear a voice saying my name. Other times, it would be recognisable voices talking (albeit in the distance). This usually only occurred right before I fall asleep.

I wrote it off to my subconcious starting to "Shutdown" for the night and basically getting rid of all of the unnecissary stuff that had accumulated through the day.

Don't know if this was helpfull, but maybe it's just a symptom of your brain doing "housecleaning"?

Meaning you are over-stressed/over taxed?

(hmmm...don't know how to spell that last one...the answer on the wrong spelled one would most prob be yes for everyone Wink
