Anyone have the knot in their stomach highest in the morning? Every morning it's there, just waiting for me to react and get scared.

    I had it for years everyday and it goes after I get up and get my day started. Anxiety was my cause. I am now on sertaline and I don't know if this is what has caused the knot to stop. Best to go get it checked first to be sure. Good luck and try not to worry to much.

      Thanks for your comment. I've been on sertraline for 7 years at 100 mg. a couple weeks ago, I started getting anxiety again. The doc put me up to 150 mg and I'm just waiting for that to kick in. I was just wondering why is it that I have that knot as soon as I wake.

      I'm no expert but they do say if anxiety returns you may need to switch or tweak your doze. Best to speak to your gp. X

      It's an awful feeling, I'm hoping it'll soon pass because I love my life and want to be able to enjoy it.
