Question by CrazyyMike: Can alcohol cause anxiety when a person is drunk? Has it ever happpend to you?
I know alcohol is a sedative and normally relaxes people, but I also noticed that some people get more hyper when they’re drunk and it seems to have the opposite affect… so is it possible for someone who is already anxious for example to drink and make the anxiety worse and lead to an anxiety attack when drunk?

.Panic episodes begin with a silent mimicker and taunter for those who suffer from the attacks. It starts with those daft feelings and thoughts and taunts the victim with them, until the situation has grown and fired itself into something that’s unmanageable, and the person is overcome with panic. For those that suffer on a daily or even hourly basis with fear and anxiety, it may seem the fight will never be over. But there’s treatment out there for people that want it.

The best treatment comes in 2 forms and works together. The first being medical and the other being emotional.

or do they merely make you less anxious.

I know alcohol is bad but I need immediate relief. Every year I go through a slump. I don’t feel sad, it just seems like the simple task are hard to do. Its really hard to focus during these times. However this year is a doesy. Been in a slump sense September. Need help fast to keep job and look out for kids.

It’s really terrible. I mean, I completely freak out at the beginning of the exam and I can’t remember a thing. If I just had a little to drink or something before the test, maybe I’d be a little more confident and able to concentrate.

Do you think it’s worth a shot? They never breathalyze anyone upon entering, so why not?

I don’t want to completely quit drinking but i also don’t want keep having these experiences.
