I'm sorry you had such a terrible night--I can definitely relate. It's hard to deal with the panic attack symptoms. I've definitely felt the same where I can't seem to calm down and I feel like I'm dying. It does (eventually) pass, though. I hope you're feeling better now. Let us know if there's anything we can do.

cray-cray,

I used to have this problem about 6 years ago so I know how awful it is.  I do take  a drug used for the treatment of depression, and  panic attacks however, my dose is very low but  the side effect of this drug is drowsiness and it has worked like a charm 98% of the time for the past 4 years.  This is a med that has been a mind saverfor my insomnia or for waking up in panic in the middle of the night.  It is Trazodone and I take 50- 150 mg each night at bedtime.  You may want to talk it over with your physician if things do not get better for you using other methods of getting a good nights sleep.

Kindly,

Kitt

Hi There,
I understand how u feel i have just woke at 5.45 and have that awful yuk feeling i put meditation on but that is not working this morning all i wanted was to have a good nights sleep i have only had 4 and a half hours its madness i hate it im so tired but i can relax cause I'm fighting the anxiety.
I never use to wake up with this crap i turn the tv on the computer and am trying to type but the eyes are so tied but need to distract myself i know they say to just go with it but i find it so hard to go with something that scares u so much.
its 6.45 am here in australia now and sunday morning i wanted to have a bit of a sleep in but no that has gone now.
Its that scared feeling that something bad is going to happen if i do start to doze off i jump and that freaks me out. I want to ring my friend who suffers like i do but i dont want to ring incase this is the one morning she is sleeping in.
I try and do so many things to distract myself but I'm so tired and so want to go back to sleep but i can't at the moment .
I wish the chat rooms had someone in them to talk to oh well hope it passes soon.
Hugs Net xo

Thank you guys!! :)   well after reading a bunch of  older post and trying to watch TV. I eventually fell asleep again.  I am feeling better this morning with exception of some chest pains which never go away.  So we take this one day/hour at a time.  Hope everyone has a great day!!!
