A member asked:

I used to have abit of anxiety then when i started drinking a lot and tried to quit my anxiety got worse by more than 10 fold now it's terrible?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Anxiety.: People with anxiety often make attempts to self-medicate with alcohol. As such, you’re kind of going it alone without your “medication” at this point which may be contributing to your anxiety feeling so much worse. I’m not saying you should start drinking again, but i am saying that you should see a therapist and maybe a psychiatrist to discuss actual medical options for your anxiety.
