Waking up every morning sweating,very nervous and shaking why?

I also have the same thing, I wake up early and I’m filled with anxiety and fears but I don’t really have anything specific on my mind to cause this reaction. When it first started it lasted a few minutes but over time it lasted longer. I usually take Ativan in the morning and it seems to minimize the anxiety so that I can get on with my day, I still have no idea what causes this but I’m learning to cope with it, what other choice is there when doctors don’t have any answers for you, perhaps this is my new normal, who knows.

I’ve been taking buspar for the same symptoms and in the morning it’s like twice as bad later in the night I’m good! You?

I can only speak to what is effective for me...not medication related
In the past I discovered that my fear of the feeling of anxiety and my efforts centered on blocking that feeling set up a physical response and internal dialogue that made things worse
What helped me was my decision to get to know my anxiety. Set up a dialogue with it and develop a true interest in its history, it's nature, what it might be trying to communicate to me.
I am by no means saying that will be helpful for everyone. Over the past 40 years it has been useful to me.
