Medication and sleep

[basten]

I take a lot of prescription drugs for depression and sleep but when I now wake up I have severe panic attacks and anxiety and don't want to do anything except go back and just lie on my bed . I then have to take a Diazepam which I've never had to do before if I don't take my Zopiclone they're worse on waking My psychiatrist says it's not the meds but it started on them Amitryptiline Clonazepam Trazedone and Zopiclone. Has anyone else developed anxiety and panic attacks being on these meds. She wants me to stay on them another two weeks when if it's still happening she will wean me off all of them and said I then won't sleep for days which I dread

Personally I've always got better results for medication questions talking to a pharmacist. They know a great deal more about the nuts and bolts of medicines than doctors cover or are taught. If you're in the UK there's two organisations - the RPS has a special interest group and there's an organisation called the British Association of Psychopharmacology or something like that.
