I Have Anxiety Attacks And Panic Attacks

Having a mild anxiety attack now. Maybe from too little sleep. I am afraid to sleep because I've had a lot of disturbing nightmares these last couple of days. Think it might be the antibiotic I am taking. It's helping my long time ear infection so I am not going to stop taking it. Did not sleep at all last night. Now I awoke from another nightmare and am scared and feeling very alone. Middle of the night. Trying to get up nerve to take a sleeping pill. Anxiety is suggesting a series of unlikely but scary events that "could" happen at any moment. Bad dreams, bad memories, heart pounding anxiety.

Have you tried Melatonin for sleeping? I know this isn't a recommendation, but sometimes I take Nyquil to knock me out when I just can't sleep. I do NOT do this regularly, just when it gets bad.

Yes, I use melatonin every so often. It's not good to use it too much or steadily because that could inhibit your body making it naturally.
