Sorry to see you go through this . Night terrors are horrendous .
Have you had any periods of time without night terrors? I hope so for the sake of your general wellbeing but also because if you have then those times might help you find hope of stopping or at least reducing the frequency of them now .
Medicine is always an option but as you probably know, is a very short term one .
Counselling /therapy are other options. Finding ways of getting a restful sleep, without going to bed worrying and to feel refreshed during the day may be something a counsellor or therapist could help you with.
Thinking of you & wishing you all the best
