Morning anxiety I just wanted to describe how I feel and see if anyone can relate- I wake at 4am suddenly may have woken before but 4am it is when all hell let's loose. I feel like my brain is on fire feelings of panic hop less Ness and v nauseous feel like I am shaking inside very tired but when I lay down mind goes into overdrive and I have depressing dips and waves of panic really horrible headaches and pressure in forehead it's crippling I have no energy don't want to see anyone because I feel so weak with it all and frightened where has this all come from 17 months now 5 months on 20th fluoxetine will this ever ever go away I do my best so to work but in follows me wherever I go

All, I still have the anxiety, been on 20 mg for 42 days now, however it is getting slightly better. And the dark, depressive mood is MUCH better.
Having said that, I still have wretching in the AM but I along with my therapist have deduced that it is in my head, my body way of reacting to AM stress when our cortisol levels are at the highest. For instance, I had 5 wretching sessions this AM but nothing comes up and no acid in throat. Think of it as dry heaves.
To combat this or at least mitigate it, I eat a banana each day, drink chamonile tea in the AM before I come to work, during the day IF I feel a tad anxious, I have naturalvitality calm magnesium supplement that I drink in a mug. It does help a lot
I also take .25 mg Klonopin (.5 pill cut in half) at around 8 PM before I retire to bed around 9:30. I only do this 3-4 nights a week, and I have not yet had to take one during day.
Hope this helps. Meanwhile stay positive. I know it is darn hard but I read somewhere that out attitude determines our altitude.
