I too wake up in the early hours and the anxiety is already there to greet me! Nausea and sweating, catastrophic thinking, ruminating thoughts. Psychiatrist had me on Lexapro which amped up the nausea. Same with the zoloft. Now I'm gonna try Abilify. Benzodiazapines, (xanax, Ativan, etc.) give me the best relief. Xanax 0.5 -1.0mg in morn works for me. Not 100% but at least some relief. You know what really helps the most? Connecting with people like you and this entire community! What a difference it makes knowing others like us are out there struggling. Sharing our disappointments in meds that don't work, anxiety over what to do next -- all of it gives me strength to go on with my struggle and that I am not mine alone. My struggle is one shared by many. Thank you everyone for sharing your trials and tribulations. Knowing I am not alone is the best Rx! Love and more...
