I suffer from depression and along with it comes a lot of anxiety - mainly in the morning. Wanted to know if anyone in here have this. I think it has to do with heightened stress hormones when you're depressed. The evenings are better as the melatonin kicks in. The body and mind relaxes more.

But as soon as I wake up it's there. Ruminations, heart palpitations etc. It's awful.
I take Oxapax (15mg) once a day to fight it but it doesn't do that much. The racing thoughts are still there. I can seriously understand why people selfmedicate with alcohol or drugs. Completely. Because this is not living. This is just way too hard for anyone.
