Hey Reddit
I quit drinking (socially) and have been abstinent for 21 days so far. I plan to continue and give up alcohol entirely since I know it will be having a negative impact on my anxiety. I have also given up vaping and have been abstinent for 14 days so far. I am currently on 50mg of Sertraline per day for anxiety.
The last 2 weeks my anxiety has absolutely been through the roof and I'm unsure why this might be. I am not sleeping properly whatsoever. Could it be related to giving up drinking and vaping? To be clear I did have a physical dependence and withdrawal from nicotine which is now over but I was not addicted to drinking alcohol I drank socially only.
I did also try and taper off of my medication around 6 weeks ago which may be significant. However my anxiety symptoms began to return so I continued with my regular dose. Perhaps this could be playing a part I'm not sure but I am taking my medication consistently since then.
