Anxiety and depression for days after binge drinking
442 answers - active on Mar 17th 2021
Sometime I can binge drink and be fine. When I slip up and binge drink more then 10 beers per occasion I wake up with severe anxiety and panic attack that can last 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 better. I crying an crying uncontrollablely. 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 properly for up to week. I enjoy drinking and try to limit myself. I tend to drink probably once ever 2 months. I just wanted 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.

Everyone keeps asking this but little known after is people become allergic to the yeast in alcohol, especially after drinking bigger amounts on a long term basis, once you become allergic there is no reversing it, happened to me as well and i don't like drinking any more than 1 or 2 bottles of flavored cider or half glasses of cider otherwise i start feeling more and more fatigued... and cider also makes your pee smell yuck... makes mine smell rotten for 2/3 days... I already suffer from fatigue and feeling crap from my PCOS but i feel far more fatigued if i have any more than 1 or 2 bottles or half glasses. I tried larger 2 times as well, disgusting lol but it gave me belly aches 10 mins after, i tried it twice because the first time i took 3 big gulps and the stomach ache wasn't too nice... sipped less the second time but still bit of a belly ache... i'm not too bad with vodka but anything with higher amounts of yeast in it makes me fatigued or a belly ache, alcohol really isn't meant to be drank on a long term basis. Same happens with coffee too, after a while you start becoming more sensitive to it.

Could be alcohol intolerance, could very well be a drinking problem, could be something through the family blood line, could be a billion other reasons this persons personal issues should NEVER effect who you are, seriously DO NOT TELL PEOPLE YOU KNOW WHY THEY ARE SUFFERING KNOWING FULL WELL YOU COULD BE WRONG!! Cause sorry you are wrong... come on try me dont care nananabooboo stick your head in doodoo and then write in your pathetic diary "at least not for me", meaning for her and NOT you, see a doctor a therapist perhaps talk to a loved one the first step is trying to find out what works for you and YOU only, anxiety is created and we can all make it better, but will not happen when reading and listening to these losers lol

Did it end up going away?
Has anyone considered that these might be symptoms of cirrhosis or fatty liver? Time to detox off all the processed food and booze you've been consuming. Go all natural low fat and booze free for 90 days. Then tell me how you feel.
So much fun to feel human,celebrate with a binge and kiss your ass goodbye
I just drove to CA had to return east on a plane in full blown bullshit panic depression or whatever the hell it is. In the midst of this it feels as though it will never pass, although presently it must be subsiding because I'm not in bed freaking the beep out. Nice to have comrades thanks to all of you.
The liver issue makes a lot of sense Ive had low viral load hep c for over 30 years
this could have an effect on brain chemistry which is what anx and dep. basically are, it may not be our personality it may be our chemistry
I have the same problem with binge drinking!! I am a new father and i have been binge drinking alot to cope with problems in my life. I have recently been out of work and my father had a severe heart attack. Last weekend i had a freind over and probably had about 18 beers in a 4 hr span. I have been diagnosed with anxiety before and about 9 months ago i stopped taking celexa becasue i didnt want to be a new father reliant on a pill! Well once again the binge has my anxiety full blown! I even missed an oppurtunity on a new job because of my anxiety! Well today i finally got my ass up and went to the gym burned about 400 calories and as of right bow i feel mich better! I will say these forums sometimes make things worse! My advice is try no matter how hard it is to get back on your nornal schedule and dont dwell on the anxiety! It will go away eventually. As for the medication i got put on wellbutrin .. its only been a day so theres no way i can tell if its helping. None of the medications they will give you kick in immeadiatly! Try to calm yourself and live a normal life. Only thing that will work !

I'm so glad I found this thread. I've felt like I'm going crazy since a huge 4 day binge, missing 2 days of work and it's a pattern lately. I don't drink every day but when I do I can't stop! It's been 24 hours now and I'm hoping it subsides soon. I feel like a shit mother and like my kids will hate me soon. I'm giving it up once and for all. I'm giving myself realistic goals like a week then 2 etc. Trying the positive thought thing. Hope it works soon cuz I literally feel like I'm going to die.
The day is 6/5/2017, Male/23 years of age. Sitting in bed typing this on Monday evening. I'm writing this post to share my experience and if possible help others.
This past Thursday I drank a lot of liquor and blacked out. Friday morning I woke up feeling like shit. Just a bad hangover - but a normal one - splitting headache, upset stomach, low energy, you know the deal. After a few hours of feeling like crap, I was finally starting to feel better, just sittin on the couch watching some TV and chillin. Later that evening, I was feeling fine, thought I had completely recovered more or less, and around 7 or 8pm I was immediately overwhelmed with the most intense sensation of PANIC (anxiety doesnt do it justice) than I ever thought possible. It didn't result into a full blown panic attack - only lasted a minute or two but was terrifying to say the least. Afterwards I was, well, terrified and confused because I had no idea why that had happened to me. I didnt feel stressed out or worried about anything in my life; no responsibilities or obligations that I need to take care of, I was just chillin at home with family. Very strange. After the horrible sensation of panic had passed, I felt this awful anxiety the rest of the night, the following day(saturday) and yesterday(sunday). I feel the anxiety is part due to my own worry about feeling that sensation of panic I briefly felt friday night, and partially due to the elongated hangover lets say. Along with anxiety, I have also felt a low-key depression, like a dark cloud that is following me around the past few days. I just feel like I don't have a sense of well-being. It sucks. Badly. Even tonight..monday, i still feel off, and its been practically 96 hours? One thing I thing that can help this feeling is benzos. My mom had a little ativan left and ive been taking small doses (.5mg) at night and I feel it does it a little something to help. Unfortunately, I believe the best solution is to not drink period. HOWEVER i believe the most logical reason for feeling so bad is because I blacked out. I believe if you drink only a few beers (or wine, some liquor perhaps) and drink a few glasses of ice water and try to sober up before bedtime (as opposed to just passing out), these awful symptoms could be avoided. One more note- I have also tripped on LSD and DOB recently and had a nightmarish trip on the DOB. not sure if any correlation/causation here, just noting. Despite the fact i still feel anxious and depressed, it has improved and i feel it will continue to improve. I may or may not post an update. If anyone has read this, thanks for reading, and staying away from alcohol seems to be the best bet to avoid these symptoms.
Reading these posts has helped me calm down a little. Ive been a heavy drinker since I was 15. Ive been battling drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes my whole life. I am consumed with shame, guilt and anxiety. Ive been through several rehabs and taken therapy and I only end up with more anxiett and shame because the amount og money thrown into rehab and therapy had me in debt. Im a binge drinker...which means I can go days and weeks without drinking or smoking if I try EXTREMELY hard. The problem is that I eventually give in, binge drink and am completely suicidal the next day. I feel so alone
Same stuff happened to me I've been drinking since 14 binging really hard when I do but the panic attack a and depression and everything else are common symptoms sof this and it can take a while to get over it it took me almost a month once with no meds or anything not even the drip I reccomend stayin off hard liquor that's the stuff that u can't really measure when ur drinking and when u wake up you don't realizes how much u actually
Drank and all of this stuff starts to happen I've had a shitty past five days hope this helps anyone just stay strong and eat good foods also what doesn't kill you makes you stronger !
I understand completely. I'm currently experiencing hangover anxiety. It truly is awful. The shakiness, the guilt and fear is unbearabl. I'm trying discover ways to allievate the symptoms but it's hard. I'm young, only 20 and suffer from anxiety and depression and I've found time and time again, alcohol only worsens these disorders in the long run. I don't consider myself an alcoholic, I just try to keep up with my friends but can't seem to share the same experience they have. I am always anxious. I also have OCD and find that it intensifies my "hangxiety". Good luck to everyone experiencing this. You are not alone.
