It sounds like you may be have nag a panic attack. I know a few times when my anxiety has built like crazy that has happened to me.
Make sure you tell your doctor about all of your symptoms.
Quite often when you increase you dose you increase your side effects again for awhile.
I also wake up to terrible anxiety, nausea and the shakes and it takes me till 5-6 at night for it to calm down.
Try some deep breathing when you wake up to calm yourself.
Good luck

Thanks Laurie
It's a very awful feeling I hate it so much I tell my partner as well but feels like he doesn't wanna listen to me as he's constant saying how much he had to look after me for 9 months when I was going through panic attaché daily I feel like he wants to just tell me to shut up but I will be telling her I have felt my anxiety so bad for few days now but one day I'll be good next day I feel bad again xxxx
