Hi! I am actually afraid to drink alcohol. I usually avoid it because when i drink it, i feel the anxiety symptoms right away such as fast heart beat, smothering feelings, breathing problems etc. As much as i want to tryyyyyyyy and have a nice drink with friends/family, i always seem to avoid it. I wish i just stop being afraid of these symptoms.

Same deal here. I like to drink alittle, but you have to know when to quit. For me it's usually only one drink, maybe twice a week. If I go to a party I don't take my clonazepam that day, but still limit myself to 3 drinks. If I have a hang over at all I feel seriously depressed and anxious the next day. It's not worth it to me anymore. FIXING

I have had a good couple of weeks but this weekend I had several beers too many. This morning I felt like crap and had anxiety so bad I had to leave work. It was a big disappointment for me. I enjoy drinking but I guess I will have to give it up. What an awful day it has been. Anyone else drink?
