Waking/morning anxiety

Posted , 3 users are following.

Im in my 5th week of flu and still have morning anxiety. I have to take a Lorizapam with the Flu in the morning. I get anxiety after having a nap sometimes too. Is there somethong about waking up during these early weeks that is a side effect? I dont even want to take naps anymore.
