I drink 4 double vodkas neat at the weekend, almost as a 'set' routine every time. The thing is, I DO get an effect off of it, but not drunkeness as such. Just a 'normal content' feeling, that things are easier to deal with.
I don't drink in the week at all, as I luckily have a strong willpower. Instead though, for the last few months, I have put up with some horrible symptoms. I need to know whether they are related to alcohol withdrawal or not. The day after consuming, I don't get any headache, just an upset stomach and slight dizziness / fatigue. Then all week (esp. by Tuesday) I have twitchy eyelids (most noticable symptom), chronic diarrhea (most troublesome), panic attacks, paranoia, low self-esteem, nausea etc. But this ALL disappears when I drink. I have Diazepam (Valium™) 2mg tablets prescribed to me for the anxiety, but feel strong enough to leave them in the cupboard ONLY for real emergencies. I would appreciate any help, or replies from people that have experienced this.
