I am taking 45mg of Mirtazapine and have just started taking 50mg Amitriptyline at night, which would make most people sleep for a week, but not me!!!
I suffer from GAD/SA/Panic Disorder
I have got into a really bad habit, I sleep for about 3 hours and then need to go to the toilet, once I am awake my stomach starts churning and I sometimes hyperventilate. I spend the rest of the night tossing and turning.
I have tried going to bed later and not drinking at night, so I don't have to go to the toilet, but I still only get 3 hours.
I play meditation/hypnotherapy CD's, count back from 1000.
I try to kid myself that I don't care, but my subconscious mind knows that I do, so that is not working.
Please please, can anyone give me some advice? - anything no matter how small, it just might help.
Thanks
