[nabyou]

Hello every,

1st thanks in advance for your help and support. I have been having health anxiety for a while. However last night I experainced a real bad one. I woke right out of sleep and my heart was beat very very fast about 150 B/min. and stayed there for good 20 - 30 min then slowed abit.. Has anyone experainced this, if so do you think that is normal. I went to my Dr. today and he said it is anxiety and he prescriped "Ativan" for, has anyone take this drug..dose it work. if you've had a similar experiance what happened and what drugs did you use ?? by the way I read the 5htp (natural herb) helps with anxiety... thanks again it is nice to know that we are not alone ... god bless

Ativan is a good drug for this. Under Medications and therapy on this forum you can see a table of different groups of medications.

This waking up with the problems you wrote about are totally normal for anxiety...Many of us suffer the same way. 
 
Good luck with the new meds
