What Causes Difficulty In Opening The Eyes?

I have PTSD and am on 20 mg escitalopram. I also see a chiropractor for cervical spine problems. Sometimes my dreams are bizarre. I see myself responding with my hands. My eyes are closed. I also have headaches. What s going on? When I sleep sometimes I can t open my eyes and have difficulty opening both eyes. Never experienced such things until this year. I ve also had 4 car accidents first being a rollover. Last year I fell and hit my head.

Hello dear,welcome to Ask a doctor service.
I reviewed your query and here is advise.
I think all your nightmares come from PTSD.
Have you tried to meet a psychotherapist to help you with it? It is very helpful in most cases.
Maybe it will help you reduce escitalopram doses too.

Hope I have answered the question.
Let me know if I can assist you further.
I find this answer helpful
