More frequently lately I have been having terrible morning panic attacks.I don't know if they wake me up or if I just wake up with them but I don't know what to do .I am thinking of asking PDOC to give me something to take as needed but I am afraid that she will think I just want drugs.(paranoid as I haven't ever had a problem with that) So what should I do?

(1) common problem
(2) what meds are you currently on?
(3) what do you eat at night?

i get panic attacks in the morning too. it starts every day with a bad feeling but i find it wears off a bit as the day gets underway. i've had them now for about 9 years - i remember when it started. what are you panicking about? with me it's money, health, my lack of direction at the moment.

I have panic attacks in the morning to when I wake up. It's an awful way to start your day. I got some Xanax from my PDOC and he said to take them when needed and was very nice about it. Of course he knows I am BP

Mornings are the worst part of my day..especially when I'm working. It got so bad that I was sick to my stomach and sometimes even threw up for over a year and a half now. It got better when I was out on short term disability (go figure, huh?) but I'm almost done with that and will be going back to work soon...and I'm starting to get sick again.

Pdoc has me on .5 mg of xanax twice a day but I just started it (I've taken it as needed for years on & off but never on a regular basis) so I'lll have to see if it helps.

Good luck with your situation and new meds....that is if you do get some. I would ask....it can't hurt. At the very least tell your pdoc about your anxiety and see what they say.

    I have been here before, a long long time ago and now I am back.Forgive me for not just saying what I want to say,even under a triple dose of antidepressants it is still raw and seeping and I am hesitant at revealing it as at least under the bandages around my heart I don,t have to look at how raw and wounded.My child was cleaved from my heart by his own actions. my child of ten,turning eleven...
