Nocturnal panic attacks

[kglassman]

Does anyone have advice on how to stop nocturnal panic attacks? I wake up multiple times through the night shaking and wake up in the morning with severe GI upset

Are you taking a sleeping pill?

[kglassman in reply to Hidden]

I’ve tried melatonin. But I take my anxiety meds right before bed

[Hidden in reply to kglassman]

Ok, I take ambien for sleep it is a medicine made for sleep. My anxiety med doesn’t work to make me sleep, you may want to look into ambien

I tried accupunture. It worked so well for sleep and stopping the panic attacks at night.

Have you ever been tested for narcolepsy?

Yes, I've suffered in the same way for the last 30 years, I'm on prazosin, it is used to slow and regulate blood flow at night, which stops the spike of adrenaline, which happens with nightmares and PTSD flashbacks for me, decreases

The release of cortical, the stress hormone, and I'm no longer waking up in a cold sweat. This maybe helpful for u too, talk to your Dr., I have only been on it for 1 year, but very positive so far.
