In reply to Hungovers - what happens to neurotransmitters?, posted by Jimmyboy on January 1, 2007, at 11:22:31
> Does anyone know what happens to your brain chemistry when you are hungover?

> I have noticed .. when I am slightly hungover, I actually feel better?? Less anxiety , not like a zombie..
>
> Crazy, I know, ... not when I get hammered and have a pounding headache and feel queasy, but after I have a few beers the night before. The problem is I don;t want to drink all of the time . I used to drink a little every night and I think unknowingly, this is why
>
> Anyway, I was thinking, it could be the sleep distrubance, or I am pretty sure I am bipolar II, unfortunately I am depressed about 95% of the time and not hypomanic, but I have had those episodes. My mother was bipolar, bad and she got raving manic everytime she drank. Is that common for bipolar folks?

> Thanks , if anyone knows.

> JBYour good/less anxious mood is probably due to the presence of alcohol left in your system from the night before.
