Anxiety adrenaline waves every AM waking me from sleep.
Hello,
As stated above,every AM at around 5, I start having uncomfortable adrenaline-like waves throughout my body. If I try to sleep, the waves cause weird dreams and then I wake up. This has been going on for about eight months. There has been considerable stress in my life during this time, but now things are improving, but the waves are just as bad.
Has anyone ever experienced this?
Thanks.

I had a CT scan with contrast last week and I’m still waiting for results.
I know I have an adenoma on my left adrenal from a scan that was done nine years ago. All the doctors I spoke with said it was nothing to worry about. Even though, I was having adrenaline rush often.
They convinced me it was just my anxious personality. Funny I haven’t always had an anxious personality.....
Anxiety seems to be the “go to” diagnosis for many things.
I also feel I have to finally get to the bottom of this, but it has been very difficult.
Please let me know what happens with you, and I will let you know what I learn too.
Good luck to both of us!
I don't think 2 to 4 mg of clonazepam is high dose. I have taken 2 mg before bedtime for several years and have dropped off of it several times with no withdrawal side effects. I do agree, the patient needs to evaluate themselves to see what the lowest dose is that gives the desired effect, according to their metabolism and how the patient's body breaks down that particular benzo. When I on rare occasion took an additional 2 mg clonazepam during the day and tried driving, my reaction times were quite a bit slower as a result. I have had general anxiety disorder (GAD) for practically my entire life (76 years old now), it isn't a horrible thing, but I hate it nonetheless.
