Browneyez I was constantly nauseous towards the end of my drinking career.
There is one answer and thats to stop drinking.
In the meantime, lots of water and good food, look after yourself.

Hi browneyez and yes the upset stomach is definately due to all the drinking or one can assume. You need to stop drinking to figure out if maybe there is something else going on though.

There are med's for panic disorder that you can take, I have been on them and they really help. Also there are other OTC things you can take like GABA, True Calm etc that are in the health store here.

Best of luck to you, I hope you start feeling better.

It was for me.
You will have to get through the anxiety, I had that too, its hard but it passes.
You tried any supplements to help?
GABA, True Calm, Vit B and Magnesium are all pretty calming.
Oh and not too much coffee.
Thats an obvious one I know :-)

After a drinking binge, I always have feelings of nausea, paranoia, an inability to sleep. After a really bad one, I could suffer from mental hallucinations, and I couldnt eat a thing. This was usually cause I didnt eat for days when on a binge, and my stomach just couldnt keep anything down.
After about 3 days I would feel better, but it would take about 5-7 days to get back to 'normal', especially with regards to getting a proper nights sleep. As starts said, the only thing to do is stop drinking, and then you dont have to go through it again and again.

Remember this feeling and know that you never have to experience it again if you choose not to. Within a few days the sickness and anxiety will pass.

In the meantime, maybe sipping some ginger tea and taking some Andrews or Resolve rehydration drinks.

Im pumping my body with plenty 'o' water.. milk thistle, multi vit and omega 3-6-9
I think that soon as the whole drink is out of my system i'll be better

Hi, Browneyez. Same as what Startingover said goes for me - I was always nauseous toward the end of my drinking career, sometimes with bouts of dizziness and messed up headspace ... and the anxiety when the drinks wore off was horrible.

But, for me, after quitting and going through a week or so of withdrawals as my body detoxed, the anxiety let up and the nausea, etc., went away. I haven't felt this "normal" in literally years.

Or you could have the flu, too .. sometimes it's hard to tell the difference. A lot of the time, I felt like I had a cold .. sinus things, bit of a sore throat, etc. ... but that went away too when I gave up the fifth of rum/vodka I was drinking every day.

Stick with it .. You'll be feeling better in no time.
