So much for going off xanax. I may have to resign myself that this is a life med. Does anyone else experience nocturnal panics. I wake up....I can remember my dream vividly and my heart is racing and I am sweaty. The more I think about it the more it happens. It only occurs after a dream and when I wake up.....soooo strange. Tonight I am going to try to bomb it with xanax at bedtime and see If I can avoid the whole mess. Weird I no longer have panics during the day but now they creep out in my sleep instead. Doctor said it was not sleep apnea if I remember my dreams and the wife says I don't even snore. This morning it hit at 640 a.m I was able to do some diaphramtic breathing to avoid the bounding pulse but I was scared to even move my foot for fear my heart would take off. I was to the cardio doc last year everything normal, I run 30 miles per week plus if it were my heart why only at the same time every night....sooo strange.....anyone else have this happen.
