Hi Jas,
I too feel horrible upon waking. I'm always at my most depressed in the mornings. I have a terrible time getting out of bed to face the day. I used to have horrible anxiety in the morning as well - the butterflies in the stomach panicky feeling that Spriggy was describing. The low dose doxepin has taken care of the anxiety part completely but I still can't drag my butt out of bed in the morning. This feeling worse early in the day is quite typical of depression so (if this isn't just a blood sugar thing for you), perhaps you still have a little ways to go in treatment. I think that the HPA axis is involved with causing this morning problem somehow. (Don't cortisol levels rise when we're sleeping?) I used to think that more re-uptake of neurotransmitters was occuring while we sleep and that's what was responsible for the increased depression upon waking. I was told be other posters here that that isn't the case though. I am hoping that if my depression is ever adequately treated, then the morning problem will go away too and I'll joyously leap out of bed in the morning to meet the new day. (Well we can always dream, can't we?) Anyway, I hope you figure out what's causing this for you and that you find a way to defeat the problem. You seem to have made a lot of progress so far so I see no reason why you can't get over this part as well.

Take care,
Kara
