Hey guys,

if anyone of you have read the other thread i posted today you will know that i think i am suffering from labrynthitis which is causing me ALOT of anxiety and everyday panic attacks. I have a big night out tonight and really want to go and have a good time....My question is if i get tips and merry will this relax me and make me feel in the mood for a social even or will it worsen any symptoms?

In all honesty a mate cam round to my house the other night and we had about 5 cans of beer each ( one off random night) and i felt alot more relaxed after it, but could this just have been a lucky one of time?

I dont want to get drunk feel drunk and have a panic attack while tipsy/drunk....i cant handle them when sober never mind what it would be like when drunk. But i feel if i dont drink, i will end up being their for 30 mins, feeling bad and really panicked and have to come home....any help would be great as i have 2 hours before i need to set off :D

Thanks guys
 
I don't think you will have any attacks during drinking...I've always found it to relax me more...but be aware you might feel much worse the next day.
 
When ever I drink my anxiety completely disappears. The big down fall with the alcohol though is that the next day is like a mini withdrawal and the anxiety/panic get worse. This is in my experience.
 
My anxiety is awful the day after I drink. I feel guilty for no reason, especially. When I drink though, I feel great, but...for the next few days I feel anxious. Remeraber, alcohol *is* a depressant. I feel he same way when I take gravol, which also acts like a depressant.
 
i agree, during the drinking you will not be anxious... but the next day your anxiety might be two-fold. I always get anxious and depressed the next day... even if i just drink a little bit the night before.

Just be careful, and don't binge drink... just take it casually.
 
Wow! I'm glad its not just me who feels this way! I too feel great when I drink, all anxiety is GONE! But the next day - whoa! Anxiety is worse than ever. It could be one glass of wine or four vodka and cranberries - the effect the next day is the same.
 
I'm exactly the same,thought i was the only one.The alcohol covers the symptoms,i dont believe it actually takes them away,i feel great,but the next day,it all kicks in.I'm wondering if its worth feeling so bad the next day and days following,i dont know.
