I usually wake up with some degree of anxiety and can't go back to sleep, but I woke up somewhere between 5 and 5:30am this morning with a full blown anxiety attack. It's not the first time it's happened, but it just hasn't happened in a while. It's a great way to start the day

Taking the extra seroquel at night has been helping with my other anxiety disorders, but I think I'm going to have to try taking it during the day instead. Maybe spreading the dose out more over 24 hours is the only way it's going to help control my GAD, which it should be doing… easily. If that doesn't work, I'll have to go see my pdoc again and figure out some sort of plan B.


I suffer from "intractable constipation," which is a major motility disorder that doesn't respond well to diet or typical therapies. It's common in MS and meds make matters worse. There are a lot of things that used to work, but don't anymore. I go to the BR once a week, twice if I'm lucky.
I take:
15mg of Sennakot at night
1250mg of Fibercon twice a day
100mg of colace twice a day
30mg of lactulose at night
15mg of Dulcolax as needed
I know it's an aggressive bowel regiment. I make changes occasionally. It's something I work on with my PCP, neuro, and gastro.


I'm have plans to go to the club some time this week on a day when my anxiety isn't too high. I kinda made a promise to myself I'd go every week, but I guess I didn't follow through because it's been about two weeks again.
