 Posted: 05/02/07 - 16:25 Post subject: major depression and anxiety for days after binge drinking |
  |
|
| Sometime I can binge drink and be fine. When I slip up and binge drink more then 10 beers be occasion I wake up with severe anxiety and panic attack that can lat up to 7 days before I feel normal again. I feel suicidal at time during this time. The morning after this binge drinking I usally feel like I want to jump out of my skin and repeat purge to try and make myself feel bette. I also take adtivan to try and make my self sleep in hopes that it will go away. My friend seem to hardly get hungover while I am unable to function proper for up to week. I enjoy drinking and try to limit myself. I tend to drin k probably once ever 2 months. I just want to find out why this happens to me. I feel as if I have some kind of severe under laying mental problem. What should I do if this happens again. |

|
|
| I too have these exact problems after I drink. Because of this, I've basically stopped drinking socially, and maybe only 1x/week at most. It now only takes 2 cocktails to knock me out for 3-7 days straight. It's like it completely poisons my body & takes me forever to feel completely normal again. This came on suddely, and I don't understand why. Sometimes I think it's because my body is readjusting to my alcohol reduction, and I'm completely messing up my central nervous system, so much that my body just doesn't know how to react. It's weird, frustrating, and hard to deal with. I'm wondering if any medication helps you? Do you ever feel sternum/chest tightness or any pain between your shoulder blades? That's often my biggest complaint, along with feeling overall major anxiety, to the point I don't dare drive or go anywhere until my body gets back to normal. Does your anxiety symptoms come & go, or do they last pretty much all day/night with no let-up? |

| Yes i do get the pain in between my shoulder but the high levels of anxiety and panic are only after I have been out drinking and go to sleep then I wake up with it. |
