I've been waking up, even after a nap, feeling terribly sick and panicky and shaking, my GP says it's due to adrenaline rush, but it's getting me down now.
Only started when was taken off Trazadone with no tapering by GP, then started Mirtazapine at 30mg for 3 weeks which was then increased to 45mg which I couldn't tolerate, so was tapered quickly over 5 days off it and onto Escitilopram at 10mg which I am struggling with!
Just wish I could wake up not feeling like this has even developed into a full panic attack on numerous occasions!
Hi Karen,
I go through serious bouts of anxiety all the time. When I do, I wake up feeling ill and go to bed feeling ill. Every physical symptom, I think I've had. From nausea and dizziness to breathlessness, chest pain, muscle and joint pain and headaches. I'm now getting finger pain, collarbone pain, armpit pain and breast pain. I lieterally feel like I never feel well. It's horrible. I just want to catch a break. I had a good few days last week which was positive but I feel I'm spiralling back to square one.
I get what you mean. It makes you panic that there is something worse going on. Anxiety sucks and it really does mess with your body physically, all stemming from the mind. I'm not on any medication. I don't want to be. I really want to find my own way to manage and to take the constant feeling of unwell and pain away but I know that means I have to work on my mind first.
I wish you good luck. Hope it subsides for you!!
Hi Karen that sounds familiar my anxiety is awful in the morning. I get shaky legs and sweating how about you xx
Oh boy I had the same issues when I started Cipralex (escitalopram).
From the moment I opened my eyes in the morning I felt like my heart was gonna explode...
That's why my doctor gave me Xanax to cope with the side effects. I only needed them for a week though, then it was much, much better.
Hang in there, better days will come!
Thank you Mike, I'm on day 9 so I really hope things improve!
How are you doing now?
