Hi

I have, for a long time, suffered from GAD, Panic, Hypochondria, Depression, Phobias, etc and have been on all the usual meds (right now I'm on Lorazepam and Atarax). I've recently started having a few glasses of gin and lemon-lime soda in the evenings to help me calm down and sleep better. However, when I drink in the evenings (maybe 3-4 glasses), I always have very weird nights. For example, all of the things below happened last night as I was sleeping (or at least trying to sleep)...

1#) A "jolt" went through my head breifly and I woke up and had a small panic attack. I don't know wether I passed out in the night for a few seconds, had a dizzy spell in my sleep or what the heck happened but it was really scary.

2#) At one point, it felt like my lips were moving around all over the place (don't know wether I was dreaming or having a spasm of some sort).

3#) As I was sleeping, my entire facial expression suddenly changed on it's own into a "frightened face". This was REALLY weird and again, I don't know wether it really happened or if I was dreaming.

4#) My arm just flew off of the bed on it's own at one point which really freaked me out!.

5#) Half the time, I felt like I was experiencing derealization/depresonalization and was just sort of laying their in a trance-like state.

6#) There were some weird dreams too and other weird stuff that either happened or I was dreaming them.

Anyone else here have weird things happen during the night after drinking alcohol?. I'd love to hear from you!.
