I keep getting these anxiety attacks at night; it's like the world has shut down and I'm tired so now it's time to think about everything I don't want to. I end up taking 1mg of Xanax and 5-10 mg of Ambien out of self-defense but here I am, I still can't sleep. It's like I want to crawl out of my skin. I feel tired, but I just feel like I'm about to explode. I'm in knots. >_< I really can't wait until my doctor's appointment. I think I need a longer acting anti-anxiety medication. I was wanting to try Xanax XR twice a day and maybe see about switching sleep medications.
Usually this doesn't happen. This is the third time it's happened lately at night. Normally I get anxiety during the day sometimes. Now I get it before I go to work really bad to where my hands are shaking. The weird thing is, nothing has changed in work or in my life. Just me, I guess.
It sucks to be awake when everyone else in your house is sleeping. :/

Sorry Jen on the sleepless night.
Hey Jen,
Sorry you had a rough night.

They usually do, thanks. :) I was having a reaction to an increased med for a couple weeks and then I had withdrawals from getting off another for a couple weeks. It's been a rough couple months!
I shall be telling this with a sigh
