Hey all for the past year I have been mostly doing great with my anxiety, I have stopped drinking though and now it appears my medication isn't working and my anxiety has come back very very strongly. I have made an appointment with the dr for today since it has been about a week now and it is still going on, I was just wondering if anyone else has had this when they have stopped drinking.

Ok I'm back, its entirely possible that this is the cause...so won't be drinking again for me, I don't really enjoy booze that much myself. Have to see the Dr at the end of the week before the big break to check that I am doing alright and see how I am going. It's possible other people wouldn't react the same way vs the medication or any sort of medication, each person is different.

Well being a guy I'm usally big on action movies however I find that is a dieing genera these days. I liked Westworld this year, Law and Order SVU used to be good but the writing has been very poor in some of the newer episodes.
Been feeling much better then previously and much more calmer, been going to the toilet a lot though today so I think most of the Aldcool is out of my system by now. No more drinking for me but I'm really happy about that.

Alright been doing much better, went to the toilet quite a bit during the last couple of days and that is certainly slowing down- must be my system flushing the toxic booze out.
Been feeling better and better after reaching the bad feelings peak on Monday.
Certainly won't be drinking again, except for the odd bit of wine on special occasions-it is a poison after all and especially if it is going to hurt my medication.
