anyone with morning jitters when first waking up

[hope11]

I have a jittery, nervous feeling going through my body when I first wake up every morning. Sometimes it will go away after I get up but not always. Does anyone relate? What do you do for it? I have been told it is your cortisol level peaking early in the morning and wonder if that is dangerous? Any comments, please help!

I think we are twins... I 2 have this problem! Are you sensitive to meds? I am!

Oh yeah. I can't take very many medications at all. My doctors get aggravated trying to treat me for anything. I can only tolerate a couple of antibiotics, very little pain med, have had side effects to a lot of these anxiety and antidepressant meds, and even hormone replacement therapy. They can't get my hormone level to come back up and think that may be part of my anxiety and panic problems. And now my tendonitis has flared up so my arm is hurting like heck and I can't take anything with aspirin in it because of the anxiety med and Tylenol isn't helping at all. Some days I think I am just falling apart but I know the good Lord will keep putting me back together so I'm hanging in there the best I can.

I too wake up this way and it carries on throughout the day. I have struggled off and on with anxiety and panic for the past 6 years. I start the program but can't seem to finish but I am going to this time. It gets so hard at times. I get to feeling helpless but I know God is with me. I have a loving and supportive husband who sticks right by my side through all of this. I don't understand why we have so suffer from anxiety and panic but I will dig my way back out of the pit again and again. It's so tiring and frustrating. But God is good.

I too wake up with the jitters often enough. What medication does your doc have you on and what strength is it? Mine has me on sertraline and I am just about to up it to 100 mgs. Best of luck to you all.

I get the morning jitters if I have a glass or two of alcohol the night before and also if I wake up a few times during the night.

Morning jitters are awful. My stomach would hurt so bad and I had no appetite. This happened to me a year ago due to a doctor's mistake with my medication. Yes, sometimes it would last all day on and off. I took tums throughout the day and tried to suck on peppermint candy. This helped somewhat. I also found a tea called Relax. My sister was the only one who could relate, but her experience was still different. When she had the problem, she knew what was making her feel jittery. I, on the other hand, had no idea what it could possibly be. Once the medication problem cleared up, these jitters magically went away. I truly believe that a chemical imbalance can contribute to this. Finding the right medication(s) and dosage is important. I also started exercising more. I am an avid runner and I try to focus on my running goals instead of my anxious symptoms. Good luck. If anything, know that you are not alone. I felt sad and alone for the longest time.
