Hormones!   ::).  :welcomemm:

Maybe add an anti-anxiety medication or a beta-blocka every night to help ease anxiety surges.  The morning hormone cortisol was my worst enemy, I would wake terrified in the early hours  :'(.

Which AD has been prescribed?

Well done!  Now relax as much as you can.  Eat little and often as that can ease anxiety surges.  Let the medication do it's work.
