I’ve been in the same situation as you for about 3 weeks now some nights I can sleep through but most I wake up every 45 mins to check my heart because it feels like it’s stopping I can totally feel what you’re going through and it’s not nice at all it really sucks
I have had same issues for the past year or so. I have learned that what seems to help is small amounts of both choline and niacin. both are required for proper nervous system function. Choline is found in eggs naturally. If you are not getting enough eggs or meat you can have anxiety attacks. I combine the choline and niacin, no more than 40 mg each, into one capsule and take at night. helps me get better rest.
I LOVE Xanax. I feel it's the one med that has helped me without any side effects. I can even cut them in half, which is enough for me. My problem now is that I am over 65 and my neurologist refuses to allow me to have them anymore. Guess he's afraid of being sued if I fall. I only use them in extreme agitation. So I still have 3 pills left from an older script. I have chronic insomnia and have had it for years. But I don't use the Xanax for sleep. I use it for panic attacks. Of course, talk to your doctor about your symptoms. Might not be related to the Xanax, but you want to be sure.
