Question by MissD: Alcohol is the only thing that stops my panic and anxiety?
Im seeing 2 psychologists, have been diagnosed with panic, anxiety, and PTSD and have been on zoloft, xanax, and the only thing that stops the panic attacks is alcohol.

I abuse it and now am an alcoholic because no med can make me calm as alcohol.

Yes I am in alcohol rehab also. I’m 100% sure I will never quit it because when I do I live in hell.

ANYONE ELSE?

My friend has this same problem, however he wont accept treatment. He is Bi-polar and schizo affective. He would like for them to give him xanax however they wont because of his alcoholism. Apparently xanax is an addiction activator. I am surprised they give it to you. Good luck, i hope you feel better.
