The last couple months I have had terrible morning anxiety. As soon as I wake up it's almost instant anxiety attack. To be honest the only way I'm coping is by getting up and taking a klonopin first thing. Then I usually do some meditation or relaxation exercise. Then force myself to get ready and go to work.

By the afternoon I'm usually feeling somewhat better and then by nighttime I'm ok. It is getting somewhat easier after repeated exposure.

Also make sure you're getting enough sleep. Otherwise that's just going to make you that much more anxious in the morning. I usually take a melatonin tablet at bedtime to help me get to sleep.
