Hi all,
I have an anxiety problem that means that I am pretty much anxious all of the time and have an active brain with the "ON" switch always switched.
I have an option to take Celexa but I am scared of doing so. I manage to go to work every day and life some kind of life so I figure that I shouldn't take them until I can't do that anymore, while I give my CBT a chance to kick in.
My main problem though is waking in the night (usually around 2am) and then waking again about 5am. In particular the two hours between 5am and 7am when I have to get up are awful. I am exhausted and my anxiety is in overdrive at this time.
I was wondering if anyone knew of any pills I could take that would help me to sleep for a whole night? I really feel like if I could get a proper night's sleep then I would not feel so bad the next day. The days I can cope with a lot better, and I have other plans to tackle the problems I get during the days.
Any suggestions on something I can buy or ask the doc for?
Thanks a lot
Gareth
