Oh my god I did it again. I'm so hungover right now. I started to believe my DP couldn't get any worse whether I drank or not.

I was wrong. I think I'm gonna faint. I've never had a headache this bad in my life. I feel like I'm gonna puke but I can't. I'm so scared and weak I'm shaking. My face is burning.

God why isn't this xanax working?! What can I do? I thought about going to the ER but they'll just give me xanax which I already have.

i had the worst hangover yesterday! i had a terrible migraine and i had to work at starbucks (thank god i had the day off of teaching). i ended up having to call someone in to work for me (since i was puking my guts out) for a couple of hours so i could take a nap. after that i felt much better. have you tried napping?

I'm feeling better. I think the tums, motrin, and xanax kicked in. I tried to lay down and go back to sleep earlier, but my head was hurting too bad. Thanks for replying.

I know this sounds obvious - but do the following.

Take a pint of water - crush some paracetamol and some kind of stomach settler into the water. Pour in the fruit juice (not concentrate), a spoonfull of sugar and a tiny bit of salt (you've lost a lot during drinking) Drink the whole lot. After an hour, if you feel a little better, go back to bed and try to get some sleep.

Sunday night went out to the Oktoberfest held by the local German/Austrian club and also to watch the rugby league grand final. I normally don't drink more than a couple but I went over board that evening. I wasn't badly drunk but close to it. It's been almost twelve months since I last got intoxicated because I know how it affects my DP/DR but Sunday night I felt great and had one of the best times in a long while; laughed myself silly. Yesterday was a different story. Got up and felt like crap. The drinks had disturbed my sleep and I was feeling really weird and regretting the night before. Today (two mornings after) I feel quite depressed.

Big mental note - DON'T GET DRUNK!!!!

It's great at the time but two hours of joy is not worth a week of exacerbated symptoms. I knew I should have stopped but no, being slightly pissed I kept going, thinking of the immediate gratification. So people if you're out for a drink have a couple, stop and enjoy yourself. As for weed just don't even think about. And NEVER do both unless you're into self abuse.

Um... excuse me for being dumb, but what is paracetamol?

Milan, I wish I could drink a couple and then stop. :wink: I can sometimes, but I don't know, other times I don't know what happens. The other night I only had one margarita and like two vodka and sprites... at least I think that's how much anyway. That's all I remember. Maybe I put too much vodka in my sprite.

Paracetamol is a headache tablet. Generally around 500mg per pill. I had about four of them throughout the day yesterday. I also use them, believe it or not, to control mild anxiety and get me to sleep at night if I'm feeling restless. It tends to ease my chest tension.

Actually, I did look at Martins concoction and the ingredients seem logical to combat a hangover. I wish I had of read it yesterday.

When drinking we have to get out of the habit of drinking for effect. Drink for taste. I always buy the most expensive boutique beers for that reason. Firstly they taste much better and you don't need to drink too many of them to be satisfied.

drinking and being hungover actually make me feel better....

 

[peacedove]

When I'm drunk I feel great, but the next day my DP is 10 times worse.

same for me.

 

[widescreened]

Thats very hard to understand,seeing as alcohol is a depressive drug.Maybee people should experiment with the amount they drink and find out what disrupts their mood the next dat and NEVER exceed the quota.Because its a long day in hell for me if I overdo it and have to cope with dp/dr the next day.

 

[falling_free]

alchol makes me depressed

 

[orangeaid]

I take the alk I feel my perception a bit scewed which is normal.
I have DR and my perception feels scewed all the time.

So when I have somethign to drink I almost feel like I am a normal person... Like this is the way a normal person is supposed to feel.

Alcohol makes me tpye funmy.

I don't do hangovers, always drink a shitload of water before I go to bed and a load of orange juice if it's been a heavy night.

 

[peacedove]

Wow... I'm usually too wasted to even remember to drink water before I go to bed. A lot of the time I wake up and don't even know how I got there.
