Hi,I am Dr. Alexander H. Sheppe (Psychiatrist). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
I have been insomnia since November. It started due to a lot of anxiety I was having at the time. Now it is months later and I am still experiencing it. I don t have trouble falling asleep, I have trouble staying asleep. For the most part, the anxiety is no longer there. Any advice you could offer would be most appreciated. Thank you.
I have gone through your question and understand your concerns. Presently, your suffering with generalized anxiety disorder(GAD) with associated sleep disturbances. I recommend you to start an Anxiolytic preferably an SSRI. Along with a Benzodiazepine for overcoming sleep disturbances. I also recommend you to start practicing stress management techniques such as:
1) Regular physical exercise in the morning.
2) Healthy lifestyle modifications.
3) Relaxation techniques like mindfulness and meditation.
Hope this clarifies your concerns. Thank you for the query.
