typical anxiety thoughts, why am i ill again

[pinkprincess]

Hi Guys,

I havent been on for a while even though i havent been great, I came off citalopram in august after thinking i was fine and had the worst 6 weeks of withdrawal ever! i started to feel better mid september but i went out at the weekend and had a heavy drinking session and had a really bad hangover sunday, monday i felt ill like i was coming down with something and still feel achy and ill today.

I know people who dont have anxiety would be thinking what am i on about but i feel scared thinking is this going to send me ill again or anxious with all the symptoms, definately keeping off the alcohol again.

Anyone out there have panicky times or feel ill for a while after drinking

Hi Emmi,

thanks for replying, been to the doctors today (as we anxiety sufferers like to and he found blood in my urine) so on antibiotics for a week, think i have a virus too,

i swear it was the heavy drinking, no more alcohol for me!

I wont let it beat me again, not going back on those dreaded citalopram! x
