Liza, I hope you get it sorted. I hate it when a doctor treats a symptom like that...

Will your insurance cover therapy, or psychiatry to get you on an appropriate anxiolytic? Is there underlying depression, as there often is with early morning awakening? Has your PCP tried you on BuSpar (pretty inexpensive in its generic forms, non-sedating, non-habit forming, and the side effects are generally minor)?
