Just found this board. I'm a stressed medical student who's just recently discovered the anxiety hell that can come with drinking. I've had at least one drink a night for six months, but gotten drunk maybe once a week. Lately I'd started getting feelings of anxiety and panic, and overall low self esteem the day and, especially, the second day after binge drinking. I want to the doc and got some xanax. Now I'm off the xanax (a few days), but I've got the anxiety, combined with exam stress (exam season now) and I'm in hell! I can't sleep more than a couple hours a night, and its turning into a cycle, as I stress about being stressed. I really worry about coping with my career and responsibilities. How long does this anxiety hell last after stopping drinking (or xanax)?
