Suggest Medication For Sleeplessness Due To Nightmares

hi, i am 22 female with a husband and 3 young children, i have nightmares every night and i have cohearent talks with my husband during sleep, this has been going on since i was 10 years old but now with children i fear i might hurt them when they try to wake me up. i have cursed my husband and my mother out on a lot of occasions for waking me up even though i do not remember, i have nightmares so vivid that i can remember my first one and they are all about being murdered or hunted or me being the hunter, i have even picked up the phone and had a conversation with my mom in my sleep and did not know it. and i have drawn blood from my husband in my sleep. let me explain that night, i had just fallen asleep he said and proved to me that i started digging at his back with my nails so hard i was taking layers of skin off at a time, he tried to wake me up but than i got even more violent, than he had to hold me down and sit on my chest for 10 minutes before i calmed down but i never woke up! my fear is that my kids will try to wake me up and i will unknowingly lash out at them and i want to prevent this if possable.

You need to see a psychiatrist at the earliest. There cant be simple medications for the above things and we need to also evaluate your sleep by doing a polysomnography.
It is a sleep disorder where people can walk and talk and do things like this.
