Q: Can either Aricept or Paxil cause night terrors combined with thrashing in bed?
When I started taking Aricept I took it in late evening and I was having proplems with terrible nightmares. My physcian suggested taking it in the morning. I did and no longer had the nightmares. This is my experience with Aricept. Talk to the physcian about this problem. Hope the night terrors can be resolved.
