Changing Meds

I've always been a sleepwalker and a sleep talker, going way back to my childhood. After I started taking Naltrexone, a medication to block the effect of alcohol, the dreams got weirder. Very vivid and I would often hit the wall, or throw my phone across the room. But recently, it's been off the charts. I've been standing up and screaming at night, waking up my family and probably the neighbors. More than once, I've fallen while trying to run from something I dreamed of. I gave up yesterday and went to see Dr. Gabby. He thinks it's related to Phenedrine that I take as part of a weight loss program. I've been taken off Naltrexone and everything else for a couple of weeks to see if it helps. It's been four days now, and I don't feel any difference without the Naltrexone, although honestly prefer taking it just because it gives me a backup plan.
