I have depression and anxiety that’s been getting worse, and I started binge drinking on and off for several months. Last night I drank a lot and woke up with a bad hangover this morning. This is a bad situation cause I’m taking an antidepressant Pristiq and can’t have alcohol with it. I been under a lot of stress lately:

*I work at Six Flags, and about to be laid off for the winter. Looking for another job in a sh*tty economy has caused me a lot of stress. I’m considering a waitress; food service, but those jobs are stressful with crappy pay.

I have been diagnosed with begin PVC’s in the past, along with Mitral Valve Prolapse, which the doctor said would cause me no problems.
I am diabetic, and also suffer from depression and anxiety and panic attacks.
I am on Klonopin .5 mgs 4 times a day, and Prozac 80 mgs per day, and Remeron to help me sleep.
The Prozac is working so good, that I usually take 4 Klonopins per day, 2 prior to work and 2 at night, with the Remeron to help me sleep.
Last night I didnt take any of my meds due to the fact that I didnt want the medicines to exsaparte the effects of the alcohol.
Any ideas, on why the palpatations. I also drank a bottle of Gatorade, and a bunch of water prior to drinking.

How long does irritability and anxiety last once you stop drinking alcohol.

I’ve been drinking lots of beer for 15 years and recently have been drinking almost daily this past year.

I noticed i get irritable and anxious when I’m not drinking.

What can i expect when I quit?
Finchy : Wow, you are good. I couldn’t ask for a better answer. Every thing you said makes sense.

I have been drinking vodka heavy for 2 years. I stopped this habit yesterday, but I’m having very annoying symptoms. My hands are shaking, I’m nauseous, light-headed, and had cold sweats all night. Also kept waking up with a feeling that something was crawling on my body. Also bruise way too easily. How long can I expect this to go on? When does it start getting better? Any personal experiences would be greatly appreciated!

I have been drinking about 1/2 to 1 bottle (a fifth) of rum everyday for months now. I am qutting today and the doctor gave me ativan for the withdrawl symptoms but I am still nervous and anxious. How long can I expect the symptoms to last? I have not been vomiting but I am a little shaky and have diarhhea. I had my last drink at 9PM EST last night. I already know about AA and am going to that too, but I just want to know how long I can expect to be physically ill and when I should stop taking the ativan. Thanks.

I have been binge drinking daily, 10-12 beers for the last couple of months only.

I have not drank in almost 3 days.

I still don’t feel good, lots of anxiety.

How long will this last, what should I expect?

Today is my 9th day without a drink and I’m wondering if anyone has any experience or knows how long withdrawal symptoms last. My worst symptom is bad sleep, I wake up every night 2-3 times at least from a nightmare or sometime for no reason at all. For the last couple years I have been drinking 3-4x/week, anywhere from 10-20 drinks a night. Please help if you have any advice.

After getting out of a rehab center for 21 days, would one still have alcohol withdrawal symptoms? If so, how long would they last?

He’s 22 and a college student and just doesn’t have much of an appetite. He just keeps getting thinner. Is this something to worry about? He has no other symptoms and seems happy and healthy. No drug use or alcohol, and no depression.
