Hi,
For the past year I've been dealing with a random panic disorder that plagued my life. After I quit doing all drugs and going gluten free, however, my panic attacks have completely stopped. It has been 2 months since I had my last panic attack (yay!) but my question is, if I have a small drink every once in a while (a glass of wine or two) will I have a hard time controlling my anxiety the next day? I guess my concern is that by drinking I'm burning out my dopamine receptors and that it will ruin all the progress I've made battling panic so far. Or maybe I'll have a panic attack while buzzed (dont believe this is possible though considering alcohol works on gaba) so Is that how it works? I would hate to know that I can't have a little drink every once in a while when I'm out with my friends. I RARELY drink. I believe the last time I drank alcohol was 4 or 5 months ago, so I do not do it often and do not use it as means for coping with my anxiety.
Thanks in advance to anyone who can contribute
