Diagnosed with depression in 1980s. Nardil helped but rough side effects. On and off Prozac for 10 yrs. till it didn't work. On and off Paxil for 12 yrs till it didn't work. In between tried Wellbutrin didn't work, Effexor made me suicidal, Cymbalta did nothing, kept going back to Paxil. Currently off Paxil since January. I wake every day to waves of terror and doom. Feelings dissipate till I feel normal by evening. Doc had me try clonazepam. Does nothing. The only thing that seems to counter the "morning terror/doom" is when I take a little zolpidem (which was prescribed a couple yrs. ago for sleep)along with caffeine to counter-act sleepiness. Seems illogical, but helps.
Is Paxil withdrawal causing "morning terror"?
Is taking zolpidem at night bringing on terror when it wears off in the morning?
Anyone have a situation like mine?
