Hi Woodnights,

I think you only option is to stop drinking or to dramatically cut down your drinking.

Alcohol is a natural depressant. I have tried using alcohol to block out the anxiety but when I woke in the morning with a hangover it makes me feel worse. I feel so down and depressed.

I have now cut down the alcohol I drink when I go out. I make a huge effort to stay relatively sober so that my anxiety doesnt creep up on me.

I reckon if you do the same you will see an improvement in your anxiety levels.

Alcohol really aggrevates panic.

There is nothing the doc can give you to help - you have to cut down and then it will be fine.
