I have an anxiety disorder. is it okay for me to drink alcohol? Will it increase my heart rate?
I have chronic anxiety and i don’t take meds

What are the side effects of alcohol and celexa?

I don’t know what is wrong with me. I am 36 years old and I went away with my girlfriend’s for a weekend away. We went out for dinner and had a couple drinks. I came back to the hotel room, and I could not sleep all night? I feel like anything that is a change to my schedule causes me anxiety maybe? Or was it the alcohol? This is not the first time either. Every time I go away somewhere, I can not sleep the entire night either. But I am usually having a couple of drinks also. Which is it? I want to be able to travel once in a while….. Help
Yes, but I did not just wake up. I layed there from 11 pm till 5 a.m. and could not sleep one bit. Not even an hour….. Would alcohol do that?

It seems as though I have the worst anxiety after a few days of drinking…is there any way around this for me to continue drinking but still be on the meds?

Thinking of going on a med next week, but I still have the next few days. There is a lot of pain all throughout areas of my body including the head and chest. I dont have any antianxiety medications here with me and just bought a bottle of red wine. My golf mate told me that red wine can help with anxiety. Will it work?

Cipramil is the brand name for Citoplepram and its an anti-depressant but Im taking it for anxiety and panic attacks. Now every one says you shouldnt drink on anti depressants because alcohol is a depressant and it just cancels out the effects. But if Im taking it for anxiety will alcohol stop it from working for me? Im only on it a week so it hasnt kicked in yet but I dont want the alcohol to inhibit the drug in any way…

I have a GAD that I’m on medication for. I used to drink more often a few years ago with no issues, and I’ve also checked with my doctor to make sure alcohol consumption was ok. I’ve been given the green light. My friend is planning on taking me out for my birthday, and I’m worried that the alcohol is going to cause me to have a panic attack since I’m not used to consuming it. Any way to avoid this?

Please don’t say something like “Well don’t drink then”.

Is alcohol a trigger for anxiety attacks? Seems like after a night of drinking my anxiety acts up for 1-2 days. =(
