Hello,
I am a binge drinker from over 10 years, (i am 30) but lately the hangovers started to feel very different..like acute brain fog, dezorientation,, feeling like i lose my mind, agorapphobia, imposibility to do normal things..to feel normal..and took like 4 days to became again a normal person...
After one weekend whichi dranked non stop..like 3 nights in a row...i suffered again the same feelings but i didn/t come back to my natural state..i got stuck with those symptoms. After 2 weeks i was to see a neurologist which told me that i suffered a severe anxiety shock and i have to leave alcohol ans start a 3 months treatment with clonazepam..I fel better yes..like i regained my self again but i started drinking again after 2 weeks and come to the same state...anxiety...
I somebody i the same condition?? i know i have a problem with alcohol but i never thought that one day i coould became like this...to cannot regain my old self..and to feel like i am losing my mind..The feeling is impossible to manage..i cannot to nothing because of the racing brain..mental fog..fear...etc..thanks to clonazepam...
Thank you and hoping somebody will answer and give me some guidance..because this is a new thing for me..and hard to understand.
Sorry to say, but you really need to stop drinking all together. Only then will you feel better.
I started developing the same symptoms as you. I drank alot of beer from the time I graduated up until last year when after I drank I'd wake up with racing heart and horrible anxiety where I couldn't sleep and would get hot flashes and sweat profusely. I am believing it is alcohol withdrawl after indulging for many days, sometimes our bodies change and just can't take the alcohol anymore. I quit drinking completely in June of 2017 and it took a good month or so to feel better and slowly everything started looking up until I slipped up and drank 1 day in september and it induced anxiety for over 2 weeks so now I know for sure that alcohol just isn't going to be in my future. Just take time and let the anxiety take it's course, you will have up and down days but the up days start becoming the norm with few down days, and never mix benzo's and alcohol that is a deadly combination. Hope this helps
Yes ..seems that the normal hangover has transformed in something else..and is imposible to escape without medication..it feels like insanity and is very scary..i will not drink anymore because it triggers anxiety which i cannot control and ruins my life
