In reply to Have you ever awakened with a lot of anxiety?, posted by UgottaHaveHope on December 16, 2006, at 11:34:42
> I sleep great. The sleep is a great escape. But right when I wake up, after a few moments realizing that I am up, I am overcome with anxiety. Anyone else have this happen? Any ideas on how to deal with it? Michael
I know its not recomended,but using any amount of klonopin at bedtime helps give me semi comfort in the morning.Aside from that,here is what i learned from my anxiety wakings,
Waking early is best,i seem to wake with energy in the early early am,and seem to have less anxiety when people are still asleep.I turn the tv on instantly,regardless if i care whats on,i hear the sound,and know its on,and i guess part of my mind is occupied on that.
Last i give myself anxiety time,i get away lay on the floor,not the bed,just relax,and let my meds work.If i wake later in the morning when people are up,the day has already begun etc,im very nasty,and anxiety through the roof.
My waking is usualy 6 am,tv goes right on,i take my meds,and im very functional,unfortunatly my problem is my med i actualy feel wear down in a few hours,anyway just some general tips,maybe even one can apply to u.
