For a minute I thought I wrote this. I get the same panic attack at 3 AM. Wake up really scared of something I can't define. I live alone with an old dog (canine, not man). I take 1 mg of ativan (lorazepam) and magnesium at 8:30 PM and get right to sleep. At 3 AM at the anxiety wake up, I take .5 ativan and start reciting the Rosary or measured breathing to calm myself. It is very troubling indeed to know this syndrome has a life of its own. I am also highly sensitive to medications and today cancelled the rheumatologist's order for generic Lyrica because the side effects will compound other issues I have. Just amazing how your comments sounded like I might have written them except for the trazadone which I have never taken. M.E.
