I'll try to keep it short and sweet. I've been really lucky in my anxiety and depression not to have a lot of sleep issues which I know is pretty common for many people struggling with these issues. However in the last few months I believe my body has decided to turn on me.
It started simple I would wake up once about 2 or 3 am get a drink of water or whatever and end up being able to fall right back asleep. Now its gotten to the point where I'm waking up multiple times during the night and on top of that my body isn't letting me get more than about 5-6 hours of sleep. I know that 5-6 hours isn't that bad but considering before this I was able to sleep for 8-10 hours and on the weekends manage to take a few naps in addition to that I'm a bit concerned.
I'm mainly concerned because I wake up and feel like I could go back to sleep even though I think my body would object to that. I spend most of my days feeling tired and unmotivated. For example its almost 2:00 pm my time and I'm still trying to wake up, I technically "woke up" about 6:30 this morning. I've also started having panic attacks again, I had my first one in a few months about 3 days ago and almost had one earlier today. I'm still fighting off the "I feel sick" feeling.
I'm taking Cymbalta and Buspar and have been at the same dosages for awhile. I'm in the process of making arrangements to see a psych (for meds management purposes) but didn't know if you guys had any thoughts??
