Meltedface Posted November 15, 2018 Report Share Posted November 15, 2018 Hi, I'm new to this forum My condition started 1 year ago when I snorted 60mg of 2C-B, that night I had a horrible bad trip that ended in a panic attack and a visit to the hospital since that day I have anxiety problems, but I never had HPPD, visual snow, depersonalization / derealization, so I consider myself lucky !!! my symptoms have been more like traditional anxiety: chest pain, insomnia, fear of dying, muscle twitching, racing thoughts, nightmares, myoclonus (jerking when trying to sleep), shortness of breath, panic attacks the first few months...I think I have some form of PTSD caused by this bad trip I've been sober for almost 9 months and the only symptom I have now is muscle twitching (like fasciculations)... it's not a big deal, so I have a pretty normal life to be honest, I cannot complain. but if I drink alcohol/caffeine my anxiety increases the following days, and some old symptoms return. So I was wondering how bad it would be get drunk once a month and cut the anxiety of the following days with clonazepam? (I can handle 2 beers without problem, but if I took more I may have some anxiety problems the following days) What do you guys think, is not worth it? Can my condition evolve into HPPD just because of alcohol? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Johnlouxsw Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I don’t think alcohol could make it worse, probably weed will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay1 Posted November 20, 2018 Report Share Posted November 20, 2018 I would try to avoid getting full on drunk, as that has shown to have caused prolonged spikes in some people here. We're all different, but I think the pros of enjoying a few beers outweigh the cons... and yes, I blast the hangovers with clonazepam too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDoc Posted November 21, 2018 Report Share Posted November 21, 2018 While alcohol is a solution, it's just not the solution. Sorry, something in me always compels me to be strange. I don't drink anymore because I can't control it. I inevitably drink too much. Most people can have a few drinks and that's enough. If a drink or two relaxes you and makes you feel better I doubt that would be a problem. If it starts taking control, like any drug, it's time to hang it up. Too much alcohol can make anxiety worse and it's easy to fall into a bad cycle where alcohol is the problem and the solution. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
