So sorry about what ensam did to you. I'm always so scared to start a new med because that has happened to me several times.
Your pattern is eerily similar to mine. At about 3am to 4am I can tell my body and mind are getting revved up. Then I wake in total terror, unexplained free floating fear. If I am ever going to feel half decent at all during the day, it is only after dinner, but it isn't consistent.
I've never figure out what these patterns are. It even happened when I was taking mood stabilizers.
Right now I'm having the hardest time getting back on any meds because of that morning terror. Though the meds would probably lessen it in the longrun, in the short run it is worsened dramatically and it is devastating.
I was on prozac and zyprexa for a long time. I was well, but flat. I should have been satisfied, because things have been on a steep downhill run ever since. I'm trying to get back on them now, but that morning terror is increasing and it's so scary to adjust doses. I feel frozen and hopeless.
I did pray for you.
