Adam.. Wow, your story is pretty similar to mine. I have been on medication for a few years now, but I have also been drinking for years! Lately, the alcohol has been effecting me in a relly bad way!!! I black out and get very, very ill. I cannot get out of bed for 2 days and get really depressed. I freak out... panic... shake... and just total misery. 2 days later... I feel a little better and a week later... I feel great and back to myself... but then I go out again and start the pattern all over again.
Friday.. I did some binge drinking and thought I was going to die until now. I finally feel better... my neighbor is a therapist and he thinks that I am Bi-Polar!! I have never been doagnosed bi-polar.. only with Panic/Anxiety disorder. Maybe I am bipolar and thats why I drink like a freaking fish. I live in South Beach and theres nothing else to do but drink and party. Well after Friday nights blackout... I have decided that its time I make a change. I am going to *try* to quit drinking AGAIN ( 10th time) . I am tired of feeling like I am going to die.
All I can say to you is *TRY* to quit drinking. It's not too late... Good luck to you.
