Guest guest Posted September 6, 2002 Report Share Posted September 6, 2002 Hi Jill: Sorry to hear you have a shiner (black eye) . Thank God I never got one of those from Fred, but like Carol I have had hands around my throat also, along with another night that I woke up when he had a hand full of my hair and was just about ready to pull it all out , until I yelled. I aggree with Carol, sounds like it's about time was on Clonazepam. Fred takes 1.0 mg at night and I can say I haven't woke up to hands on my neck or in my hair since he started it. TakeCare Vera **************************** Just thought you would like a laugh at our latest 'adventure' I have the most wonderful black eye (my first ever) and I feel very proud of it. It happened during the night when caught me a good punch during his night spasms. 0f course he knows nothing about it. I have told him I will change to single beds when I wake up and find his hands around my throat..........lol Jill ***************** Jill, Oh dear! It's good that you're laughing at this, but it's a terrible way to be woken from your sleep - I know. I did actually wake up with Rob's hands around my throat, although I was able to push him away before anything terrible happened. We still share a bed, although we've gone from a "'full" sized bed to a "king:. Even at that there are some nights I go sleep in another room. It may be time to talk to the doctor about medication for 's night thrashings. Clonazapam (also known as klonopin) is what is usually prescribed. Rob currently takes 2 mg. at bedtime, and without it I'm sure he (and maybe I) would be sleeping in a padded room! Good luck, Carol & Rob Lexington, MA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
