I'm always on that road, but unfortunately I haven't found the destination as of yet and I'm trying other things to help get me there. I haven't given up on this I'm just trying everything I can all at once to try and get rid of this problem as quickly as it came because I can feel my system getting run-down as a result.

Like a couple of people have suggested, it may be more than physical causes. Not calling you crazy or anything, but something has to be making you feel anxious.
That is why I posted it here so I could find out other options to try if the Naturopath route doesn't work. And no offense taken, just because one visits a "Shrink" doesn't make them crazy or mentally unstable IMO. The movies do a good job of making us think this way however.

I think if this was psychological, it would come on any time of day rather than within a very predictable time frame.
I'm not a doctor, and I don't play one on TV, so the above could be completely off base
My ND & MD think this is the case. But they don't think it's buidling up in the system over night. This hormone is naturally higher in our blood streams in the morning than it is in the afternoon and almost completely gone at night. The Docs think that my levels are just way higher than they should be and so I'm feeling the crazy effects of it. This is why the MD is trying to treat me with an SNRI and the ND is trying to fix me a diet rich in foods that nourish the Adrenals and help them to repair and get back on track. She is also got me on a prescription Vitamin/Mineral/Acid supplement to help this along for now and then will suggest other herbs/supplements to help the adrenals further.
