If I had been in this predicament, I would not have chosen any medication. The best cure is Meditation and Prayer. By meditation, we feel inner peace. One of the meditation techniques is just to watch your incoming and outgoing breath. Moreover, Prayer also gives us peace of mind.

Treatments
No treatment is usually necessary for routine night terrors. Since they are often triggered in children who are overtired, sticking to a good bedtime routine and making sure your child is getting enough rest can help to prevent them.

For children who get frequent night terrors, it might help to wake your child up before the time that he usually has a night terror. This is thought to interrupt or alter the sleep cycle and prevent night terrors from occuring (it also works for sleepwalking).

Rarely, sleep medications might be used for a short time if your child gets very frequent night terrors.
What You Need To Know

* Night terrors are also called sleep terrors or pavor nocturnus.

* Similar to sleepwalking and sleeptalking, night terrors are considered to be a disorder of arousal and are a partial arousal from non-REM sleep.

* Unlike a nightmare, children usually don't recall having a night terror.

* Also unlike nightmares, night terrors usually occur in the early part of the night, about 1 to 4 hours after going to sleep.

* If your child gets night terrors, make sure that baby sitters and other caregivers are aware of them and know what they should do if one occurs.

* Most children outgrow night terrors as they get older.

Try this and take care...

I'd try meditating if I were you. And before you go to bed have light feelings. (In your case you might be afraid that you'll see nightmares again... Get rid of that thought.) Think about some happy memories and relax your mind. Listening to some light music before you go to sleep might help.

I've had nightmares when I was about 10 or 11 (I am now 18). I never have nightmares now. Don't think about it too much. Concentrate on other more important things and those nightmares will be gone.

Tealmyster. TIME.

This is the most terrorizing feeling that anyone can experience.

Not only the terrorizing and graphic flashing images from these delusions but also not being in control of your own body and sometimes even waking up in a different place.

Does/Will it go away ?

I cant tell you that for sure.

Has it gone away over time for some ?

Yes.

Here are my personal suggestions.

o Change where and how you sleep.

Give yourself the comfort of a companion and the fortitude of restful sleeping quarters.

Its has been my experience that people have limited nightmares when on a flat low to the floor firm boxspring and mattress. Have a quiet as possible surrounding and limit the light as much as possible available to your eyes

:
:

o Pick carefully who you confide in about the issue and limit controlled substances.

Just before a human body enters R.E.M. sleep , the body naturally enters a controlled form of paralysis, starting from the jaw and working down the body to the feet.

When in a forced state of relaxation from drugs or alcohol the body cannot easily adjust to R.E.M. sleep.
It is important to understand how your body reacts to controlled substances and to know your limits, carefully base-lining your body. Its also important to confide in people with your condition that are willing to be openly understanding and aware of the affects and torment of night terrors, Even a doctor may have a un-open mind about the condition and the patient and its affects.

o Work out and be philanthropic,

Perspiring during the day can and will ultimately demand from your body that toxins leave your system and a more natural state of exhaustion will set in. Understanding and practicing philanthropy would also change your long term view of your environment and will affect everything around you.

o Make an appointment to see a optometrist .
On rare occasions nightmares can be the cause of a oracular issue within the eye, a optometrist is skilled to determine if this could be the base of the night terrors.

o Dont beet yourself up.
This actually happens more often than you might think, and to more people than you might think. Don't get down on yourself about it.

You're not alone.
