drink lots of fluids to flush your system out, try to eat crackers or dry toast to absorb the toxins from the alcohol mixed with your meds., and don't do that again...obviously the two don't mix as you found out the hard way.

Yes we do silly things don't we. I liked fauxartist reply to you. Also tho we should not drink, if you can stop Do. If not put a limit on your drinking 1/2 glasses or a can of beer. If you intend to go out and drink, eat some filling food that has some fat in it, this gives alcohol less time to be taken in to your system - and the brain. Do not beat yourself up, so you fell off the wagon, how many more of us have - me for sure. Do not feel guilty, you are human and we misbehave often (this includes other things.) Do not go to risky places, and do not let peer pressure take the lead. You are special & deserve to be happy. I usually have a glass on wine a day. - and do not feel guilty. Heck as long as I have lived and gone thru my life fighting & dodging depression and its cohorts, we can support and encourage others that write in the post area.

I will go now I am making a soup and it is on the stove. So I send you encouragement, Love, Big hugs and Peace Sprinkle 1

Oh dear, it's a horrible feeling isn't it? I gave up drinking around 3 years ago (have just 2 drinks at Xmas n birthday). Because it really doesn't suit us anxty types. Also, an old hippy. One night went out with my daughter didn't drink that much but, embarrassed her with my behaviour and she had to clean me up. That was "it" for me. A loud wake up call! Maybe, this is yours? 😊👍🌻
