Yes. I've been experiencing the worst dreams of my life on this medication.
There is no exact science behind night terrors. The definition of night terrors is typically considered the extreme and amplified sequence of nightmares which cause trauma to the body and mind. Night terrors can occur from emotional and mental health problems arising from recent trauma in a persons life, even children. It is not the ONLY cause of night terrors. Some people will produce more of a certain type of chemical which helps regulate sleep and it can cause extreme nightmares (night terrors) It may also be a product of wild imaginations. Parents should also watch the content their children are viewing on television prior to their sleep to check for patterns. It is typically advised that a person should not watch television 1-2 hours prior to going to sleep as this interferes with REM sleep which may be another cause of night terrors
Consulting with a healthcare professional to address the root cause of night terrors is recommended. Non-medication strategies, such as establishing a bedtime routine, reducing stress before bed, and creating a comfortable sleep environment, may help manage night terrors. In severe cases, medication may be prescribed by a doctor to help manage and reduce night terrors.
This question cannot be answered in terms of "ever." Each person is an individual, and it is not impossible that someone, somewhere, at some time developed some sort of phobia as a result of night terrors. But generally speaking, the one problem would not necessarily cause the other.

My husband has been on topamax for about 4 years. He now has osteoporosis and a parathyroid adenoma with constant severe bone pain, extreme exhaustion and night sweats. As soon as we took him off of topamax his pain level improved. I know that topamax can cause osteoporosis. If he weren't a 49 year old fit male, I'm sure they'd just assume the osteoporosis was primary, rather than secondary to a parathyroid problem. I'm convinced everything is related to the topamax, but I have no proof.
Paralysis upon waking is not a recognized symptom of night terrors.
They can appear similar, but they are not connected. Night terrors are a sleeping disorder, whereas epilepsy is a physical condition. A person who has epilepsy could also have night terrors, in the same way they could have any other health issue, but it would be separate to their epilepsy.
"Sleep or night terrors should not be confused with nightmares. A night terror causing one to awake in feeling of intense terror or panic. Young children suffer most from night terrors, but adults can also suffer from night terrors."

Yes, night terrors in children can be associated with a history of seizures, particularly if the seizures occurred during sleep. The brain's activity during seizures may influence sleep patterns and contribute to the occurrence of night terrors. However, it's important to note that night terrors can also have other causes, such as stress, fatigue, or sleep deprivation. A medical professional should evaluate any concerns regarding night terrors and their potential links to past seizures.
