I had dreams in which some people were threatening me with several different things, but all of them bad! I also had had self-defence training, and was sure of my ability to handle any situation. lashed out at my attackers, only to hit my wife hard on the arm. Needless to say, she wasn't pleased. So I had to exchange sides of the bed with her. This stopped her getting hit, since I have to sleep on one side only with my PD. However, it made me :punch-out my night-time glass of water! So I had to buy a plastic 'squirty' bottle' fot my (very necessary) night-time drink. The water bottle does not seem to mind being hit. Just ine more of the many undiscussed side effects of PD medication. I have been prescibed anti-depressants, not as anti-depressants per se, but as anti-panic, anti-anxiety medication. It seems to work OK.
