Scared to sleep!, Awful sensation

That's awful, I'm really sorry 🙏 to hear that. I take 2 25mg in the morning and 2 25mg at night and I've lost over 40 pounds in six months since I've been taking this medication for depression and anxiety attacks and panic attacks and it helps me sleep well at night and it helps me to have a nap in the early afternoon too. You should definitely talk to your doctor about how it's making you feel so uncomfortable for sure hun 💯

Yes those are called "hypnic jerks". Can give you a sensation of falling. Having anxiety about them can make them worse. When your body relaxes switching into sleep mode muscles twitch as they just start to relax. This causes you to suddenly wake up again. The more anxiety you have the more adrenaline will also be in your body causing muscle twitches and you subconscious will be on guard for the good old now useless "fight or flight" response. I wish you a good nights sleep. I know they feel bad but they are actually harmless.

Does it feel like a wave? I've been having trouble sleeping with loads of health anxiety and I started getting tremors. It feels like just as im drifting off a wave travels from my abdomen to my head and feels a bit relaxing beacause it makes me lightheaded and all the trembling stops for just a fraction of a second then I become startled and awake once it drops off. I get worried my heart skips a beat or something.

I have this exact problem.

Just as you described it. I have made the assumption that it's because of my panic attacks. Seems like when I have a high number of episodes during the day. That terrible feeling happens when I try to sleep.

It's just the weirdest feeling. Like just when I blank out to sleep my body just falls right through the bed and that sensation instantly wakes me.

those feeling your getting bab i used to get for the first few years i was suffering with chronic anxiaty ( i was in hmpyoi at the time) i wasnt getting any help and i hate the authorities for not treating me when i needed if most because i wouldnt be living the way i do today otherise ! but yeah i used to lye there for ages worried to go to sleep thinking i wouldnt wake up and then exaustion would kick in id feel my self falling asleep and boom a big jolt of adrenaline would have me jumping up and hypaventilating and this would keep on happening until i was just to tired from it all next thing id be waking up still feeling really worried that somthing really bad was wrong and they made my symptoms worse by putting me in a strip cell for ten days then down segregation it was a complete nightmare i just thank fod that things have changed with institutions as back then they was a law unto them selves
