I’ve barely been sleeping as of lately & when I do I have terrible vivid dreams. Last night I only was able to sleep an hour before waking up in a pool of sweat & feeling super anxious.

Do you have anxiety or depression, or problems in your waking life, that would be a logical reason for your sleep to be disturbed?
Hi there. That sounds a lot like how my symptoms were. Nightmares and waking up 3/4 times a night with a start and feelings of dread. GP diagnosed me with GAD. I started on escitalopram (lexapro) a month ago and feel much better. Still wake up a bit but much more gently and not with nightmares. However the side effects of the medication (feeling foggy headed and weird) took 2 weeks to properly disappear. Feel good now though. Talk to your doctor I would. Best of luck 😊
