In the last 2 years or so as soon as my head hits the pillow every night - i start getting unexplained mild anxiety, symptoms of worry, and feeling like my head is going to drive me a bit crazy but I soon drift off to sleep.... however for a long while I have been given 5mg tablets of diazepam to take each night to ease the anxiety. most nights all is OK - but for some reason, and there is no pattern to it, but I awake jolted out of sleep with an overwhelming fear and my mind pulling in all directions at about 2 or 3am... It's so horrible however it only lasts about 3-5 seconds and i'll go to sleep again. does anyone know why this could be happening? - the only other time I get jerks/jolts of anxiety is the day after a period of drinking alchohol when I also have to take diazepam. I have no anxiety during the day. I do take Sulpiride and Escitalopram every morning in a low dose however my doctor is not specialised and I am unsure who to be referred to, to rid me of this anxiety attack. I would also like to come off all meds. Thanks. (perhaps an anxiety specialist in London).
