waking like I have a hangover

[paula lynne]

With general anxiety, I accept the tiredness, but waking up after a poor nights sleep night after night and feeling like the worst hangover in the world is getting me down. Im 39 and look 50. Any tips?? xx:ohmy:

Are you taking any meds? I had Diazepam for a few nights and that did make me wobbly in the morning, it takes a while to get out of your system.
I wake up anxiuos so can't advise on feeling hungover, sorry.

Hi hazel...I take meds for bp and cholesterol thats all. Have been off the valium for over 9 years now. x:ohmy:

I am sure it's just tiredess as your body is waking up, you could always mention it next time you see your doctor.
Hope you sleep well tonight.

i suffer the same problem and if i do have a drink the night before it trebles the symptoms - chest pains, tembling, dry mouth, pins and needles.

i do find a hot water bottle helps my chest short term.

i am on dizapem but dont feel they make much difference

I was on amitryptline for 5 years but was taken off it in may and have felt worse ever since, though i do have a spare pack and took 1 last night and had my 1st nights uninterupted sleep in weeks so am thinking about askin dr about putting me back on them

Thanks for your advice, Im glad you have some sleep! x Yes, sometimes I cave in and have a bottle of wine...then really do wake with a hangover...but you are so right, it makes everything ten times worse. I guess my systems just tired from constant anx and adrenaline rushing around. xx:blush:
