Whoa, phenergen is a word from my very troubled history (it temporarily paralyzed my mom in the ER in 2003- she couldn't speak or move). Had I not been in the ER to speak for her, she would not have gotten the medical attention to reverse the med.

To neutralize the combined heightened effects try some soothing tea if you have a special flavor you enjoy, or some chocolate if that is soothing. Pull a warm soft blanket around your shoulders to relax the tensed neck muscles.

Hope these help.

Just to follow up, thanks for replying last night. I don’t even remember how I was able to fall asleep but I got my decent hours of sleep before I had to get up and go! I actually have some tea that is meant to relax but I guess I just couldn’t concentrate or think of anything as a result of the anxiousness I felt.

It is good that somehow, some way your body slept. It was against all odds, but I am thankful that you woke up feeling better. Your comments sounded upbeat and hopeful.

I hope you take these anxiety and sleeping pills only after consulting your doctor as it can worsen the situation I guess if caution is not practiced. Anxiety can really disrupt a person's life, But the following things, E I firmly believe can help you feel better:-
1) Exercise regularly
2) Avoid alcohol , cigarettes and other recreational drugs
3) Use stress management techniques
4) Identify your triggers an write a journal
5) Socialize with your loved ones
6) Eat brain healthy food
7) Read mental health blogs available online( I read at: your mental health pal)

I know exactly how you feel. Being up all night with anxiety is horrible
One thing I’ve tried is YouTube ASMR videos
There is anything you can just think of made for ASMR For instance, I like listening to somebody Washing dishes as long as they’re not clanging together a lot
There are a lot of them specifically for anxiety or relaxation
Sometimes I like watching somebody mopping a floor On ASMR video
Other times, just listening to people talk
Sounds crazy, but Bigfoot stories on YouTube are pretty cool. Yes, I know they are not all true, but even if it’s not a true story, it’s cool to listen to
Dixie Cryptid has really cool ones Some of them are a little too detailed
There are very few sites that offer live chat for people with depression or anxiety, but there is one or two etc. out there

I truly feel for you
Not being able to sleep, makes any anxiety even worse
I hope you’re better now

Yah, Anxiety Blows,
I am anxious from events that happened 30-some year's ago, which I know I need to forget......Happened such a long time ago, It seems ridiculous to think about now.

But, I am trying to forget.

I am on sleeping pills that only last for 8 hours, I try to just stay in bed, and just fall back to sleep, But, the anxiety get's me up.

I used to listen to music (still do once in awhile) On a very low volume, And also have room-darkening shades.
Hope that helps

Ps There is a prayer I was taught, That helps me:

Dear Jesus, By Your blood and Your stripes, Satin leave my body.

That’s a very sweet prayer Guitarman79.

Rieno2 there’s nothing as annoying as anxiety right before one is just about to fall asleep.

Abihimanyu those are some wonderful coping skills you mention.

Thanks, Ontime!!

Once in a while I’ll be up till 3 am even with my prn meds. I put on a movie and crochet or walk my Rocket. Those things seem to help and for the most part if I’m up late into the night I don’t usually work the next day so I can sleep in. However since we got a puppy I have to wake up at 6 am mm most days then I can nap with her for a few hours which is nice.
