insomnia and anxiety? every night?

[reevagee]

woke up an hour ago out of a dead sleep cuz someone was walking down my block crying really loud, prob from the bar on my corner. i can't fall asleep as is and when i do, i wake up like this. now and my stomach hurts and I'm n*. i almost feel like its extreme hunger and gas but most of the time it leads to d*. its like a panic attack every night. why does this happen to me almost every single night? usually around the same time too. does anyone else wake up like this?

I never woke up with it but for years upon years I couldnt GO to sleep because of anxiety. It would start every night as soon as it was time to sleep. The same thing is now happening to my daughter. I also have been known to cause d* for myself because im so anxious.

Past few weeks I've been really bad and I still am and I have a lot of insomnia because of anxiety so I take Helex. Now I'm on Zoloft for 2 days and I took it yesterday evening and I slept well (except I woke up at 6 and it's saturday!!!) Do you take some meds?

hey. yes i have xanax to help me sleep, which it does but i dont like to take it too much. i take it as needed. if i am at my bfs house i usually sleep way better.maybe its just me. i wake up from weird dreams, a little noise or a stomach ache and then i panic for no reason, even if i dont feel good. the wonder of why i woke up makes me panic and i feel so silly. from there on i can't sleep.

I too don't like to take Helex often..but yesterday I took it at 6 pm because I was so anxious (what's wrong with me these days ) and then at 8 i took Zoloft and it made me tired. i went to sleep at 10.30 but woke up at 1 and couldn't sleep. So at 3 am i took heled again :S I just have to get sleep, i have school and big tests and everything and i am so tired of this anxiety and phobia.

If I wasn't on seroquel and took a high dose at night, I would be up all night, all the time. My medicine makes me so drowsy Im passed out with in 2 hours.... but when I get scared I can wake up every hour for a while... its so hard to sleep with such anxiety. The best thing I can do is just calm my mind enough to fall asleep and hope I stay that way.
