Hey I am also a college student who experienced MAJOR anxiety after a night of drinking. I was also a big pot head and after I would come down I would be jittery and anxious like I had never experienced before. It samazing to hear that someone my age has experineced this too. I had to quit drinking and drugs all together its been almost 3 months now and I still battle extreme anxiety every day. I'm not telling you to quit drinking because I cannot STNAD IT when people tell other people to stop drinking, they just dont understand college obviously. I would say that ONLY if you feel like slowing down on drinking would be a recommendation because it flushes out your SSRI, but who am I to talk lol? I guess you could drink a lot of water before bed. When you wake up in the morning try to meditate no matter how lame it sounds. Lay in a comfy s quite area (I know in a frat it must be hard) and take a deep breath in through your nose and exhale for 5 sec. Try to journal or type why you are anxious. Mine would always be like " what happened last nite" and really think and try to pinpoint one thing that your worried about and talk yourself through it. I would call my best friend and vent sometimes but dude just know YOU ARE NOT ALONE!!!!! Good Luck

I realize this post is over three months old but i just wanna say i go through the EXACT same thing every week. I have anxiety and panic symptoms fairly regularly but after a night of drinking I literally can NOT DO ANYTHING the next day because my heart is racing and i just am freakin out all day with numbness and anxiety. I also am in college and am in a fraternity so I feel ya for sure. I take xanex sometimes and that helps but yeah I hate it. A hangover I would love to have compared to this crap I have to go through. Anyway good luck!

I also am a former college student and have a diagnosed panis and anxiety disorder. I was a big time drinker and i would feel ok while drinking...usually because I would drink so much i would be numb to a panic attack, but the next morning about 30-45 min after i woke up...it was HORRIBLE. It was ( and still is) like clock work of when the panic will come on. I start sweating, my mind races 1000 miles a minute, my heart races, i think im gonna die, its horrible. My doctor said the reason for this is because since I have a panic disorder, Im having a bad rebound effect that most ppl dont have form the alcohol. I am on a low dosage of lexapro and i take klonapin the morning after i drink cause its seriously so horrible. I mean i have anxiety all the time but the panic attacks are so horrible the day after i drink. Known of my friends understand and a college days after drinking at college they would be like "what is wrong with you bro"...but they dont understand how paralizing a true panic attack can be. It sucks so bad. At one point i stopped drinking for 2 months and i must admit my panic decreased a tremendous amount, even though i still had some. I just had a ridiculously horrible panic attack today and almost had to go to the hospital. Im sure its cause I got wasted last night. I am started to realize i think complete soberness is my only way to live a normal life. It sucks bad..but guess i have no choice. Anyway..i feel your pain bro
