#1

My last drink was on Monday midnight, I went on a three day binger. I’m still feel awful having horrible anxiety no appetite & super depressed. When will I be okay again? I just wanna be back to my happy self again. I’m so tired. I’ve been taking benzo three times a day to numb out the anxiety. Anybody else experience this and how long does it take to get back to normal

#2

3 weeks for me. I had every symptom you are having plus the shakes, the sweats, audio problems, vision problems. The shakes were the worst. Hang in there. It gets easier. Try to sleep a lot. I couldn’t take benzodiazepines so be thankful you have those.

#3

Did you also have crazy thoughts of harming others or yourself?

#4

No but I detoxed for 3 days in rehab so that may have helped. I was supposed to be there for 3 weeks but I left. I had someone with me while I was detoxing. I got sober during the stay at home order so my boyfriend, daughter, and neighbors were home. Do you have someone with you?

#5

The psychological part lasted a few months for me but I wasn’t suicidal or angry. I was very depressed and anxious. I woke up every hour. That made me miserable.

#6

Yes my whole family, I’ve been sleeping with my father during the night & I spend the day with my family. They are aware of my thoughts and suffering

#7

If you have harmed yourself or someone in the past, you should try to get into a rehab. I regret leaving early.

#8

I don’t have history of harming others or myself these thoughts or unusual. I’m not capable of doing it. I wish the thoughts would stop soon.

#9

Ok good. That should help a lot.

#10

How old are you if you don’t mind me asking?

#11

And what milligram benzo are you taking?

#12

I’m 26 years old, I wasn’t a everyday drinker. I would drink 1 or twice a month as socially, this weekend I went crazy and did a 3day binger I think the last day Sunday i had about 15 mimosas with about 15-20 shots

#13

Did you go to the hospital?

#14

I went twice for fluids & benzo medication

#15

I don’t ever wanna drink & I have no desire in drinking after this

#16

Ok good. I would make a therapy appointment tomorrow. Try to find a psychiatrist. At the least go see your family dr. I’m taking buspirone for anxiety and trazodone to help me sleep. They’re both non narcotics. The buspirone took about a month to work but it works so I’m on it. I don’t take benzodiazepines because I had a problem with them as well as alcohol. Try to eat. You need to eat.

#17

Did you have alcohol poisoning?

#18

I have a therapy appointment tomorrow and will follow up with my primary care, I don’t have a history of abusing benzo medication I’m currently taking a antidepressant to help with the anxiety disorder but that might take a week or two weeks to kick in

#19

I don’t even know, I was going crazy & than I knock out and woke up in my car

#20

Hospital did some blood work and it looks like I did do some damage to my liver and I need to follow up with my primary care to check again those levels
