Here I am again like clockwork up and on the computer after 2-3 hours of sleep. Today I had a great day no anxiety or panic at all. I am also finally able to fall asleep without medication aid. The bad part is after only a few hours I wake up with my heart beating out of my chest. This is every night with amazing consistency. It is extremely scary and takes me a while to breathe and bring myself back in order not to have a waken panic attack. If I can shake this night panic thing I know I can be on my way a full recovery. Do you think its a byproduct of the medication? Only 20mg of Buspar daily. Does anyone else get consistent nightly panic dreams?? I am at a lost and have not had a good full nights sleep in over a month and a half. Help!! Thanks
I started looking at my bed as a boxer's ring LOL! Always a battle.
Now I try not to head to bed until I am very very sleepy, try not to take sleep aids. Exercise seems to help.
Sorry if I'm not very helpful, hopefuly someone else has more suggestions, *hug*
