Panic Attk As I Fall Asleep Posted: 05-04-07 20:15pm
I'm getting an adrenaline rush through my
torso right as I fall asleep. It wakes me
up so many times and is also accompanied
by a light-headed feeling just before it
happens. I've had to go back on
amitriptyline, but I really don't like
taking it. What would be the best
antidepressant to treat panic attks as you
fall asleep ? And I don't get any panic
attks during the day. Does anyone have an
idea of what's going on ?

Anything in particular you're doing before
you go to bed? How soon are you eating
before bed and what is it usually? Do you
have racing thoughts or confused thoughts
right before this happens (you may simply
be becoming aware of your brain slipping
into dream state and this may be
frightening you)?

I'm not thinking about anything when it
happens. It seems to happen on its own.
Well, I've been noticing I am having a
panicky feeling during the day sometimes,
so it's not just at night. Although I can
control it better since I'm wide awake.

When does it usually happen, where and
does there seem to be any connection to
anything you're doing (think hard, could
be something you ate, something you drank,
someone around you, etc.)?
