I have been on fluoxetine for three to four months now and have had a very difficult time with it over that time. I have had every symptom going but pushed through and have been in a much better place for the last coupled of months. Over the last week I have been having trouble when I go to sleep I wake with shock and anxiety, causing me to be light headed, muscle cramped, stomach discomfort........ I am then exhausted but frightened to go dark to sleep. It seems to become a habit now as every time I need sleep I start by being scared of the same thing happening..... I thought after 4 months I would be in a better place with fluoxetine but in many ways it feels like I am back at square one......

Talked to my doctor yesterday and he suggested 5mg diazipan before bed and to be honest I had the destination sleep in ages. Woke at 5:00am and felt OK for about 10mins then boom the anxiety hit big style, could not even walk, light headed and waves of anxiety one after the other. I have only settled now 3hrs later. The doctors second option was to up my propranolol to a slower release tablet. Think I will try the diazipan for a few more nights and see if it settles. It's just a major disappointment that anxiety has returned 4mts down the line, hope this is just a blip because it's as bad as 4mts ago......
