Trembling Upon Waking, Through Anxiety Med. Is This Common?

[ReachingOutJ]

When I wake up, for the first few hours, even though I've taken a waking dose of generic Klonopin, I tremble, and I feel fear. Is this common for most PTSD and C-PTSD sufferers? I'm currently residing in a house that triggers me; as a lot of my recent trauma happened here. I had a flashback today when I woke up, and it was very scary.

I know that, when I am waiting for meds to take their full effect--usually a few weeks--I have all sorts of weird experiences. If your house triggers you, changing the look of it can help, such as painting it a different color, re-arranging the furniture, changing curtains, etc. Remember that is wasn't the actual physical house that caused your pain, it was the people living in it. The house was just an unfortunate bystander.

The people are scary, but I'm not waiting for meds to kick in. I'm currently not on an SSRI, just on an anxiolytic.

I never had tremors/trembling/shaking until past 1/2 year. I had started Klonopin and Zoloft. Could be side effect of medicine, or getting off one. (off Zoloft now for months.) Still tremors. But I am reducing Klonopin.

I use to be a Morning person. Favorite time of day. I'd jump out of bed. Now they are hell.... I just want to stay in bed, and feel safe. Try to fall back asleep..

Also have a relative on medicine. He has to take another medicine to reduce the tremors from other medicines he is on.

Relative told me same thing about an Uncle having to take medicine to reduce tremors his medicine caused.
