Anyone ever lay awake in bed at night trying to sleep with the same negative thoughts playing over and over again, almost like a radio that you can't turn off? It's happened to me in the past, and is happening again and the less sleep I get, the crazier I feel and the less able I am to get sleep, like a big cycle that feeRAB off itself. I am taking trazodone to help me sleep right now, but it doesn't seem very effective against the current onslaught of anxiety. Anyone have any suggestions or tips? I dread seeing the sun go down at night because I start fearing what my night will bring.:(
 
Hey babito,

i have lay awake worrying about things which have lead to me taking ages to fall asleep. this happens if i am worrying about something that will happen the next day i.e. class presentation. i don't experience it all the time like yourself. i do experience anxiety but i have the reverse. i mostly tend to feel tired rather than restless and awake.

i suggest excerising before you go to your bed as that would tire you out and make you have a better sleep. sorry i can't help to a better extent.

hope the excerise idea helps you though :)

if you have any other problems, then i'll try my best to help. i know how lonely it can be.

Thanks, it's good to know this is just a chemical thing....I just started taking celexa and am hoping it will help. I know it helped the last time, but I don't remeraber how long it took to kick in, so far my mood is better but the anxiety is still lingering underneath. What kind of test do they do for seratonin levels?
 
I do the same thing I cant sleep much cause everything bothers me to the point I get really bad anxiety.a few nights a week may be good but then somthing always upsets me.
 
my doctor could tell that it was a heredity thing with me. there were many people in my family that have had the same thing i did. the anxiety went 100% away for the past 15 years and then i had a little relapse just last week. this happens over a period of a long time. your body gets used to the medicine. i am going to switch to lexapro today. i know everything will work out great because it did with effexor. remeraber, i you don't feel 100% normal, try something different until you do. there is something perfect out there for you. this is what my doctor told me and it's true. i am proof.

That's great for you, what a fantastic attitude you have! That's probably half the battle right there.
 
That's what is happening with me too.

I can't get rid of crazy thoughts in my head which borabard in a way like a nuclear reactor is working without any control roRAB. Sometimes I get stressed real bad because of these thoughts. And I can't fall asleep, no matter how hard I try.

Feeling real bad and worthless, I dunno whats wrong with me.
 
don't panic. i was diagnosed with low levels of seratonin in my brain. it is no big deal. i went for years thinking that i needed exercise, relaxation techniques, etc... my doctor said it was inherited so i started taking effexor xr , which gets your seratonin level to normal and i feel 100% normal. i have relapses where i dwell about once every 7 years. i am in one know for about the past 5 days, but i just increase my dosage by 1 pill for 2 weeks and then i am perfectly normal again. i know it can be very frustrating. i am kind of in it know, but i know i will be 100% normal again in a few days. it is not you. it's your brain need something to get you normal again. check with your doctor to see if it could be a low seratonin level. if it is you will be normal in a matter of days after taking medicine. the medicine doesn't make me feel weird. i have been taking it for about 15 years.:angel:
