What Causes Acute Rapid Eye Movement Sleep Syndrome?
I am suffering from acute rapid eye movement sleep syndrome. The moment I go to sleep I start seeing active dreams as if I am watching a movie. This results in heavy head when I wake up the next morning. I feel I have not slept at all. This happens in total sleep period throughout the night. Pls suggest some remedy. This is for the last 3 years and started suddenly when I left strong depression medication all of a sudden.

Hello,
The exact cause of rapid eye movement sleep syndrome isn't known. Sometimes is linked with anxiety, or when you stop using some medication abruptly like amitriptyline for example. I suggest to consult with your doctor because the medication that you should take need a prescription and follow up.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
