Help!Alcohol Xanax and Valium withdrawl
Hi all.I had been sober for over a year when during the summer I started on lexapro for anxiety and panic.
Then stupidly bought 1mg xanax and 10 mg valium over the internet and have been taking them daily.I then went drinking over christmas and went on a mad binge new years eve with all my xanax and valium gone.
I have had terrible panic and anxiety for the past few days and went to the hospital for help today.
The doctor prescribed me 2 10mg librium every four hours but it doesnt really seem to be taking the edge off.
He only gave me enough until Monday and told me to see my GP.
I really feel I need to take something else as I took three librium just to try and calm down for a while.And what he prescribed wont last till monday if i keep taking three.
I really dont know how ill manage till monday on what he gave me as its seems im withdrawing from xanax valium and alcohol at the same time.
should i take the extra librium as i really need them or what?
Anyone have any advice please help as Im in the horrors here.
I will NEVER drink again after this episode and i was doing so well and now have three witdrawals at once.
any advice???

i thought i had a anxiety problem..
I stubbled accross this site seeking advise on how to stop my weekly binge of 10 -20 standard drinks...i would wake up after the binge like the other posts (i thought i was alone with these feelings) ...it feels great to know if i give up drinking i will rid myself of the anxiety /panic attacks...my day after a big night would consist of huge panic attacks and i wouldnt eat a thing for 2 days,i would hide in my room all day..then i would struggle going to work for days after.
I know its going to be hard but i believe i can do it! If someone strongly pushes a beer on me i will tell the i have a drinking problem..the thing is i never admitted that i did and its taken me a solo trip to europe to finally admit to myself that drinking is my number one health issue and not anxiety!
so i thank you all who have posted there comments on this website you have inspired me to start living ! Mwah!:ghug

New guy.. help with not drinking & dealing with anxiety/panick attacks
Hi Everyone,
First post other than throwing out some hugs to someone in need. I have been a long time reader & currently on day 3 of my first attempt to really quit.
More of a binge drinker & then having those "gotta have a few cause I feel like crap" drinks the next day. I have tried & tried to have a couple of drinks & stop but it never works out (all or nothing kinda deal). The anxiety/withdrawal symptoms have been getting worse & worse and I am having a really hard time dealing with them (yes, I know that is the alcohol slowly killing me).
I'm in an industry that involves a lot of concerts & events and entertaining customers. The challenge is that I have a problem with anxiety & alcohol seems to really help to get me relaxed when I'm feeling nervous (I have bromazapam but it doesn't seem to do much anymore).
Anyway... I just wanted to get some of your thoughts on how you have dealt with your stress, anxiety and/or panic attacks while staying away from the booze. I know I need to see my doctor soon & let her know what is up. I have made some very bad decisions in the last couple of weeks due to drinking (and being hungover) & I need to make a change.
Congratulations to all of you who are going through the process & have quit drinking. All of the best in your recovery & I look forward to any & all thoughts/encouragement.
Take Care
