A member asked:

I'm a grown woman and have violent night terrors almost nightly. i'm starting to worry that i'm losing my mind. is there a solution for this?

Dr. Heidi Fowler answered

Specializes in Psychiatry

Night Terrors: Did your night terror predate your current medications? Lyrica (pregabalin) can cause nightmares. Hydromorphone ; oxycodone can cause sleeplessness ; significant psychiatric symptoms. I would have your physician take a look at your medications. A sleep medicine consultation may also be indicated. Psychiatric evaluation might be indicated.

I'm a 45 year old woman, in good health. Over the past month or so, I've been losing a lot more hair than normal - equally from all areas of my head. I am definitely under chronic stress from all the changes that are still going on, working from home with 2 small kids, etc. Could this be due to stress or should I be worried? I have been losing more hair than normal, should I be worried?
