I have a friend who is an alcholoic. She also suffers from hypertension and anxiety and panic attacks. She is on a host of meds for the hypertension and ativan for the anxiety and panic attaacks.
She wants to stop drinking but cannot find a hospital due to her insurance. She also doesnt have the money to go to a rehab hospital so I was curious what meds they would give her, and if she can do this by possibly increasing the ativan

I am asking to see if I am suffering from Alcohol withdrawal or something else. During the summer I was on percocets for 3 months for a bad back. I took it on and off. I stopped about 4 weeks ago, no sweat. I also drank on occasion during the summer, I have been drinkin for about 19 years. over 2 weeks ago I drank 5 out of 7 days, the last day drinking WAY too much. Next day as my hangover subsided, I had a panic attack. the next 3 days afterwards i was anxious but not too bad. Then the following Friday, another attack, followed by 3 days of pure anxiety, paranoia, shakes, I thought I was either going to die or go nuts. Went to ER, they dissmised it as a panic attack. Went to my primary the following Monday, he chalked it up to anxiety. A week of slightly feeling better goes by, I go back to my primary this past Tuesday and explain in detail what happened. He says it is anxiety brought on by alcohol withdrawal. I went through the same thing about 9 years ago, it subsided. Is this what I/m goin through? I feel a little better each day but I have moments where I am like WTF??

My bf just got diagnosed with pancreasitis which is the inflammation of the pancreas. The doctor told him, he cannot drink anymore alcohol. He is not an alcoholic, but he does drink regularly. Today he snapped at me on the phone, for no reason. Is this moodiness part of withdrawal? And if so, what can I do to help?
