+ 2 Anxiety & Binge Drinking

ad

I have horrible social anxiety which leads to binge drinking when I need to be around people. In anyones travels have any gear or PCT like products ever seemed to help with either of these two problems?

I know that is kind of a weird question but some drugs are designed for helping with anxiety and some make people want to drink alot so I was thinking perhaps there is something that makes it so you dont feel like drinking alcohol.

FYI: I have been to many doctors regarding these issues and they dont seem to have any suggestion for the drinking part and I have tried many of the anti-anxiety meds with little success so I am thinking maybe someone on here has noticed some side affect while on a cycle of sorts.

Disclaimer: Thanks in advance and I understand any/all advise I see is not a substitute for sound medical advise from a doctor.

Try recovery. It's worked for me. I was able to deal with my anxiety by working the steps. As mentioned above it depends on where your anxiety is rooted. In my case anxiety meds and alcohol were simply a bandaid that numbed but didn't deal with the root of my anxiety. Hope this helps best of luck to you.

Wellbutrin XL 150mg once a day is a NDRI and will help with any of your addictions. It'll make you more motivated, driven, outgoing and curb the binge drinking. I've been there bro.....it's the only thing that helped. All these SSRI docs push these days just made me wanna drink alcohol. I didn't want to go the slippery slope again so dropped that shi* Please see a doctor about this and see what he thinks.

yeah thats total bull shit, cannabis causes anxiety aswell as psychosis and skitzophrenia, its known to cause mental illness including panic attacks.

Nothing against cannabis but IMO your just trading one bad habit for another. When it comes to addiction I think its a bad idea.

Dbol's are pretty 'feel-good' lol it really depends where the anxiety's coming from though?

Is it just anxiety during Pct or during cycle. What compounds are you using? Tren? Some compounds will definitely increase anxiety and not for nothing but during Pct i get anxiety sometimes too. We all know drinking and steriods are a no no, but we do it. Now drinking, anxiety and steriods is a crazy combo! Seek help from a Dr, because you dont want to add anxiety meds on top of all this, now your talking a mess!! Maybe some natural tee or natural herb. ;)

Alcohol will make it worse in the long run, and you really need to speak to a doc about medical advice. I also suffer terrible anxiety, have done my entire life. When it gets real bad I take diazepam to calm me down, they work very short term but do help if you are panicking.

I dont know about steroids and anxiety, they probably help when your on but might make it worse when off.

Are you an alcoholic bro? Your answer to this direct simple question is important. I'm an alcoholic bro, so I'm certainly not judging you.

antabuse used to prescribed back in the day ... if you drink while on it you become violently ill..

on the other hand dealing with anxiety I suggest you get yourself into a yoga class or martial arts the "forms" etc will assist in taking you out of your head and into being present in the moment. It becomes a mindless activity so to speak and will help with excessive anxiety when you are moving about your day.

you have to be careful with some of the compounds .. some of them seem to increase anxiety issues

I had the exact same problem and the only thing that helped was to throw myself into something... anything positive, weather it be sport, travel, building something or getting fit. Whatever it is be committed and meet like minded people. You do not need to take anything and cut back on the booze and avoid weed! Gear is not the answer though.

If you already have natural anxiety adding alcohol ,,AAS,,PCT drugs can only make it worse IMO.

You are going to end up replacing one addiction for another. Contrary to popular belief once an addict always an addict. the only thing you can do is take one day at a time. I will never condone taking drugs to help with other drugs. If you struggle to quit your addiction you need a sponser and professional help not aas and our "Bro" advice. We cant help you with that. Do not use aas or any other drug until you get help and you are clean for at least a year.

Juice can help you focus on your training and stay away from other things I think but if you are an addict it will only become another addiction of sorts. However far better than alcohol.

Just remember that you should never start using juice and then continue on with large amounts of alcohol drinking or you will end in disaster. Zero alcohol with oral gear use.

Ibogaine, eboga.... Do research
The synthetic and natural version of a plant that cleanses your. Drug receptors
Taking cannabis is a great natural anxiety relief in some who take it. Very low doses work well for it. But even better is to keep yourself busy with books and hobby, research and learn more about your environment.

Perhaps drugs are not the best idea for you and diet and therapy is

Learn the area around you on levels deeper than your understanding.
My steps help It tremendously with ptsd and depression, and I feel when I am seriously training I can control my booze compsumption.
Let me help you out though, i I have a several step plan to not drinking.

This is mind over matter

Do not ever buy alcohol. If you must only carry 10 cash on you to work and leave your debit at home do it. Do not eat at bars, or go out to clubs, or bars.
No gambling
Train twice a Day minimum. Weights and cardiovascular or cardiovascular 2x and weights once
Focus on diet, clean eating, and a natural background in solving problems with the body.
Every time you have the urge to buy beer you must to 100 push-ups in sets of ten. If you have to run a tally get a note book and write down each urge time and date. Also seek a therapist and be honest.

This is a methodical and delibrate attack on drinking.
Take your life into your own hands.
Train, diet, save money, and enjoy your area around you.
