I was diagnosed of general anxiety disorder I've bin on fluoxetine since 23rd may at 3.0ml well night times I'm waking up stupid hours with anxiety and don't know how to control it.. I feel like I'm never gonna get better..
I had that with sertraline it took good few weeks to stop.. then when I came off then same thing.. think it's your body trying to adjust to them.. I personally couldn't take all the side effects and heightend anxiety so a came off the drug
Hi , talk to your doctor, could be your med causing this anxiety, could need to change, or some people have these side effects and then they start to work, it's quite a scary feeling and makes us more anxious, your doctor will advise you . The first time you woke feeling like this will also make you worry that it will happen again and anxiety makes us anticipate it happening again, we almost convince ourselves it's going to happen and it does, anxiety is so frustrating, ❤️
Hey! I have the same problem. And me having it more at night has really made me afraid of when it gets dark outside because I feel like i can't get out of the situation and as silly as it sounds it's true. I will wake up in the middle of the night and feel that unreal feeling, feeling shakey and not in control or like I have to get out and try to escape the anxiety attack. But what helps me is I will call a family member or a friend and try to relax, (sometimes shaking my leg helps) and put headphones in tell them how I feel. I tell them I'm deleting nervous and it's just anxiety and I just need to calm down. Or I'll okay a game on my phone to distract my mind from it and try to focus on something else. I just started taking medication for it for the first time ever in my life. (Zoloft 25mg) for anxiety and I don't reccomend using this. I've only been on it for 3 days and feel like I'm not in control of myself. But I also take a beta blocker, they have way less side effects and it's a low does of 10mg that I take 3 times a day. That just slows your heart rate down and will calm you. Maybe talk to your doctor about getting a beta blocker instead of an SSRI (Zoloft). Also try to drink plenty of water, keep your mind busy and tell yourself it's just anxiety and you'll be okay. Good luck to you. 💕 Also try to meditate or do yoga!
And yes overthinking it because you're afraid of having another one is very frustrating! And will make you anxious because you're so afraid but I think you should try a beta blocker for that (propranolol 10mg) I don't like medication but this one has helped greatly for me. Or even if you just want to start off taking natural supplements for it
