Hi Roslynn,

That your docs haven't heard of this surprises me--then again, I went for years before anyone recognized anxiety.... (I'm not dx'ing you--just myself.)

Night time awakenings are common, esp negative feeling ones. When I had them, and for when they might happen again, my doc gave me generic sonata. It's fast acting and wears off in 4 hours. I can take it at 2, or maybe 4 and be up early enough.

My depression is always mixed w/ anxiety. I don't know if it's called agitated. Some docs like to have discrete labels or dx's. I feel like, whatever they may be called, there is an appropriate time to treat symptoms. (BTW, I'm not BP--always a consideration.)

You're not alone in dread :)

hugs

There is a sort of free-floating anxiety. An ativan will work sometimes, but not always, to calm me down. Last night, the feeling woke me up several times from a sound sleep. Usually that doesn't happen. It was awful.
