I know that a lof of meds, when mixed with alcohol can, instead, cause the reverse of what theyre designed to stop, only sometimes make it worse.
(Im guessing you know all the side-effects of what you take.)

There aren't really any triggers for me. I just start having a weird feeling and then start to focus on that like a laser. I've never had a paradoxical effect like you're talking about...but hangovers certainly don't help. Ironically the medication I take is often given to alcoholics during withdrawls. My anxiety is ridiculously generalized which makes it a lot harder to avoid a situation that could push me over the edge into crazyness.

And Darin...no...that wasn't a panic attack. At least not in the classic sense.
