Hi all,
I posted this on a different site but I was hoping you could help.
I went on Celexa just over two weeks ago for my anxiety (10 mg). I have to say it really has helped with that! One of my main issues was having anxiety at night, which kept me up for hours sometimes so that I couldn't sleep until quite late. This has turned into a non-issue, as now I fall asleep pretty quickly with no problem at all.
HOWEVER, now I am waking up at 3 or 4 AM every morning! I thought at first it was because I was taking my meds at night, so I've been taking it in the morning instead. It hasn't helped at all. In many ways I am MORE sleep deprived now than when I started, because even when I can sleep in a bit (weekends, days I don't start work until later) I am awake at the same ungodly hour! I am in bed by 10 every night but I'm a wreck every day. It also has made my back pain and headaches worse.
Has anyone else experienced this? Will it go away? I'm going to try to get a hold of my doc but I'm getting desperate and I'm just tempted to quit. I need at least every THIRD night to be restful.
