Should I Take Ativan for Anxiety After Drinking Beer?

I am 24 Year old male. Recently my dad passed away. I felt sick one night and went to hospital and they diagnosed me as anxiety disorder. I stopped the medication for one day and feeling fine but just now I’m feeling the symptoms again but I had a few sip of beer beforehand so I’m wondering if I should still take meds to help with my symptoms or I should not take meds? The medication is Ativan

Restlessness, increased heart rate, and trouble with concentration are some of the most common symptoms that anxiety can cause. Alcohol can mix with drugs such as Ativan and the patient might suffer severe side effects. The primary rule is to get advice from your doctor before starting any treatment of any kind, especially after a shot of alcohol. They will provide you with advice that suits you. Apart from that, always put your mental health first, and with the help of a professional, you can learn to handle these emotions.

You me­ntioned trouble slee­ping for 2 months. That's a long time - insomnia can feel e­xhausting. Many factors like stress, anxiety, and poor habits contribute­. Simple exercise­s like deep bre­aths or light yoga before bed may improve­ sleep quality. Avoiding scree­ns close to bedtime and maintaining a routine­ sleep schedule­ are also beneficial. Howe­ver, if difficulties persist de­spite these e­fforts, seeking medical advice­ is recommended.

I am feeling very isolated and alone today. I am feeling that the worl has kicked me out.

Female | 13

These feelings may have various origins, such as stress, experiencing life changes, or lack of social interaction. It's necessary to do the things you like, connect to other people, and try out different hobbies to distinguish them. Physical exercise and the right daily plan can also brighten your day. If these feelings remain, I seriously suggest that you talk to a healthcare professional who can give you their enduring love and encouragement.

Hello 2 years ago, I had ED, only sometimes (once or twice a month i used to get very hard errection otherwise it was very very spongy like) - I then had panic attacks diagnosis and started taking serlift and etizom for 5 months now. I noticed my muscles and body is grown and also I get hard errection when i have a strong desire. Sometimes twice a day but when i am sad again, i again have the problem. Is my ed because of this panic attacks? Will it go away automatically forever or can it come back after i stop medicines?

Male | 26

You’ve had a tough time dealing with erectile dysfunction before, and sometimes, medical conditions can be a cause. Feeling down or stressed can also affect your ability to get an erection. The good news is that your current medication seems to be helping. As your mental health improves, your ED might get better as well.

It is okay to fe­el shy and stressed at time­s. Many people face this. It can fe­el hard to be with others. You might fe­el nervous, shy, or scared. But, you are­ not alone in this. Try taking small steps. You could join a club or talk to someone­ you trust. Taking deep breaths and le­arning to relax can also help lower stre­ss. Move at your own pace. Take it slow.

I have GAD and hypothyroidism. I've been diagnosed with hypothyroidism for 1 year and GAD for almost 5 months and taking meds regularly. But I don't know if I'll recover from this. I'm tired like really tired. Will it ever be fine. Will I ever be fine?

Female | 16

GAD along with underactive thyroid driving can make you very tired. This is because your thyroid becomes stubborn with time which indirectly and gradually drains your energy level. The plus side is that you can get the right treatment and help and be well on your way to recovery. Sticking to your pills, having a good diet, and getting enough rest are essential. The process of healing will allow you over time to get back to being yourself again.

Alcohol addiction is serious, and professional help is vital. Be cautious with Ayurvedic remedies; extreme effects when drinking aren't common but can occur. The best option is to address addiction properly with the guidance and support of healthcare professionals.

Anxiety attacks and hyperventilation

Female | 25

When you get anxious, your body can start breathing too quickly, a condition known as hyperventilation. These symptoms can make you feel out of control, and shaky, and your heart might race fast. It occurs as a result of the brain's misinterpretation of the need for more air when the actual need is not. A technique called paper bag breathing, as well as breathing slowly, can help. Among such are uplifting leisure exercises such as mindfulness and deep breathing to mitigate your anxiety.

It is my honest opinion that you should see a qualified psychiatrist who has an OCD specialization. They will be able to give you a proper diagnosis and suggest treatment that will enable you to maintain your symptoms level.

It seems like­ anxiety may be the cause­. Feeling nervous or trouble­d happens. Your breathing gets tough. Anxie­ty arises from stress. Or it could stem from ge­nes. Some medical issue­s can lead to it too. But you can manage through technique­s like relaxation. Regular e­xercise helps.

Male | 26

Thank you for reaching out. It sounds like you’re feeling overwhelmed by constant thinking, which can happen when we’re stressed or anxious. It might help to start with simple steps like setting aside time daily to write down your thoughts or practice deep breathing exercises. If this overthinking is affecting your daily life or making you feel stuck, talking to a psychologist can be very beneficial. They can help you understand why this is happening and guide you toward strategies to feel more calm and focused. Taking this step can bring clarity and relief.
