Ok I'll start this by saying I have never in my life had a problem with unusual anxiety.

I started rebif in February of this year and about June I started not being able to sleep because of strange racing thoughts. I would wake up feeling very anxious and paniky sometimes. Heart racing and you know that worry feeling in the pit of your stomach.

This feeling is much worse on the nights I do my shot.

When I was on betaseron I was taking lexapro for depression from it. Worked very well. After being off of the beta for a year I was weaned off and the depression didn't return. (that was about 2 years ago)

This is different from that feeling. Lately I have been taking benadryl on shot nights so I can atleast get about 6 hours of good sleep.

I have a dr's appt coming up very soon and bringing this problem up but, not sure what can be done. I know there is help out there just not sure what avenues to explore and ask about.

Any help and/or ideas would greatly be appreciated.

Sorry this got so long.
