Anxiety is not managed on 10mg + chronic insomnia
Hey all,
I was hoping I could get some help. I'm currently in Greece and leading up to and now at Greece I have had awful anxiety paired with chronic insomnia. It sucks because I really wanted to enjoy this holiday and I feel like I've ruined it and cannot appreciate it fully. I am only on my second full day though I guess. Poor sleep seems to really mess me up and for some reason I seem to wake and come to every hour or so. The night lasts forever and when I get up in the morning I'm exhausted.
I was on 10mg then went to 20mg a few months ago. I felt detached so I reverted back to 10mg. I have generalised anxiety disorder and 10mg simply isn't cutting it. My doctor prescribed me 20mg pills and I was chopping them in half so I think I'll trial 20mg again as it is the therapeutic dose. I was on fluoxetine for many years prior to this med.
Anyone know how I can help this sleep? I self medicated with alcohol last night as I was desperate and managed to get 4 hours or so of sleep in a row, then I continued to wake on the hour following the same patterns as previously.
Thanks
