Anyone ever try acupuncture for anxiety? Also anyone has severe morning anxiety that is worst every single day in the morning, and may or may not lessen as the day goes on?

    I was the opposite - my anxiety was the worst at night, I was ok once the sun came up, but around 6/7PM I could feel a difference in my body.

    I haven't tried acupuncture, but I would be open to the experience! Let us know how it goes for you.

    How did you diminish it?

    My anxiety is worse at night. After I put my son down to sleep, I absolutely CAN NOT relax. It's not even related to my son, it's just general anxiety about everything and about nothing, if that makes any sense. My psych prescribed Klonopin at night only, and it's helping me to at least be able to get to sleep. I really haven't been able to do anything for myself to settle the anxiety, though. But at least I'm sleeping now.

    My anxiety was always worse at night when I couldn't stop my brain from wandering.  It wasn't directly related to my baby (as in I was anxious about everything and had ocd - but it got a lot worse after having the baby)  I started Zoloft, which seems to help, and have thought about going to a ppa/ppd group...
