Ok so does anyone get really bad morning anxiety?? Mine is so bad that I puke!!!

I'm so scared going to bed because of the way I'm going to feel!! Will my meds help this once they kick in?? I just can't deal anymore sad

Hi Kerri,

Please try not to worry, if your are on pills for anxiety, or antidepressants,or anti emetics . They will almost certainly make a huge difference very quickly.... do you eat anything before you go to bed? Sometimes a half pint glass of cold FRESH milk and a couple of plain biscuits can make a. Huge difference to just how your stomach feels in the morning.....

I am sure that you will feel better in no time, sincere regards, Deirdre xx

what meds are you on?

Well the thing is I been taking my thyroid pill at night because I can't take it in the morning as I usually just vomit it up sad

So I take my Clonazepam for sleep

And hour later take my synthroid pill for now , until I get better in the mornings. Then I take my cipirlex in the morning when my stomach calms down .

Can't take cipirlex at night as it keeps me up sad anxiety sucks!!

I'm on cipirlex . Was off them for 6 months and now back on now for 2 weeks and a bit.

Just up my dose today

Hello Kerri

Could have been me writing your letter.

I'm not on medication,but have the same fear of going to Bed.

I feel awful when I wake up.Nervous,wretching,shakig,can't eat.

For no apparent reason.

Milk does help to settle my Stomach,until I can face trying to eat anything..

I contcted a therapist who told me that this is  very common.

Morning is when I am most anxious. I take diazepam.

Do you have it every morning?? Or just some mornings?

I usually get it once my anxiety gets bad and then eventually it will pass and won't have it for a very long time.

I'm not a morning person to begin with and that just makes it 10 times worse with the morning anxiety sad

I had this, its passed now my medication has kicked in.  Try peppermint tea before you go to sleep and in the mornings it really helps to get rid of the acid in your stomach.

10

I sleep really well,but as soon as I wake up I start getting anxious.I am usually hungry but wretch when I try to eat anything.

This has happened for about a week this time.

I am seeing a therapist on Friday,to see if he can help me overcome this feeling.I eat in the evening,hoping that will help,but still the only thing I can Stomach is Milk when I get up.

11

I have moved of diazapam as in the Uk you wont be able to drive  as they are change the law on some prescribed drugs

12

I on venlafaxine and my appetite has changed, stomach is off and i feel nausea most of the time

My GP has given me some ant acid for stomach as the acids will be high if I am not eating. I am also having a routine endscopy to 100% sure but they suspect it could be stress/anxiety related.

My gp thankfully thorough, and last year when I muddled thru with sepsis and a kidney infection I got told off as I end up seriously ill. I just thought I had flu.

I can say my GP is good at looking after me and always ensure we make decisions together

Yah morning anxiety sucks!!!!

I'm also seeing a therapist as well and doing some heart math?

Have you heard of that before?

It's really neat and helps you how to breath properly .

14

Ok thxs I might just try it!! How long did it take for your meds to kick in?

What are you on?

15

Six weeks for me and I feel much better. I am on citalopram and propranolol but only low doses. Morning were horrid with the sick feeling and I could only eat at night as well. Your not alone in this. Keep strong you'll get there are

16

This will be my first apointment with the Therapist.We have spoken on the Phone.he thinks my anxiety is just a symptom of depression.

This morning was bad again,all I have had is a half Glass of Milk and half a Biscuit.feel so shaky,and don't know why.Wish I could lose this sick feeling.

Never heard of Heart Math.Take Care

17

Thxs !! I'm also so tired and don't want to get out of bed sad

Just want to be me again!!😪

i suffer from anxiety and depression,they seem to feed off each other.

recently i began suffering from morning anxiety.

my symptoms were exactly as described by others on here.

if i stay in bed it just gets worse so i force myself up and into a bath,it's hard very hard at times.

i shake sometimes uncontrollably,my mouth drys up and if i try to eat i feel sick.

i take seroxat and recently have been put on propronol and i'm waiting to see a mental health councillor.

the least stressful situations sets me off and life is terrible at the moment.

suicide had never come into my thoughts before but now i think more and more about it,i am frightened that one day i might do something stupid.

but i will fight it and i hope all of you who are suffering will one day find peace.
