@scottrl I’ve was a depressed person most of my life but it was never so bad that I felt I needed medical attention. I was able to talk myself out of it. But the anxiety came suddenly with a vengeance in my sleep! Its physical symptoms are absolutely unbearable! Wound up like a spring all day long, weak muscles, tremors, feeling ill, no appetite, no motivation, no energy…like the walking dead. This has been going on for 9 months with virtually no reprieve. It’s hard for me to talk myself into feeling good. I pray a lot though. I’m currently tapering off clonazepam and it’s killing me. I’m on 20mg Escitalopram for 10 weeks now and it’s doing nothing for me.

@meingan I had a similar experience.
I ended up in the emergency room one day; the ER doc suggested I have a sleep study.
It turned out I had severe sleep apnea.
Once I got that treated, I felt much better.
