Recovery from a panic attack?

Alcohol is a depressant, and this is why your symptoms are worse after heavy drinking. Panic attacks happen to a lot of people, but after a few you do start to panic about having a panic attack. They are awful and the feelings are very intense, but it can get into a vicious circle of panicking in case you panic and then drinking to take the edge off the panic which then makes the feelings worse after drinking. See a Doctor to discuss cognitive behavioural therapy and/or counselling. A course of anti-depressants may be useful...but let the Doc decide as there are side-effects that may actually feel worse than the anxiety. I survived...good luck x
