Right now I am getting sleep anxiety attacks , I know iam not alone in this hit I use to love sleep . Right now when I close my eyes the anxiety shook me . Anyways my question is does excersise makes it better or worst ? I heard lots of people saying that u eventually fall sleep and it eventually gets better , but before getting better it gets worst lol . Plus I do have acid reflux problem as well .. can this be related to that too ? It's very annoying and making me tired :(

I can't even sleep . My body is tired but brain is always active . The thot of that I won't be able to sleep keeps me awake and anxious . Took this pill and I slept 13 hours . Lol anti depressants work like magic

Took this anti depressant Tablet . Worked after half n hour . The anxiety ran away like a scares rabbit . Thots went away from the brain . And I slept like a baby for like 13 hours lol . Doc said I should take these for 4 days . These are not the ones u get addicted to .. so I think these pills help alot . Like magiccc

Hi jgough, I remember talking with waqasvic 2 years ago. Looking back over his posts, I noticed he mention Paxil as well as Lexapro. Both are SSRIs. I have been on Lexapro for several years and it's been a good antianxiety medication for me. I hope this answers your question to him. xx
