Any tips on Anxiety Side Effects?

First time poster, long time reader! Took my first shot of 2.5 exactly 6 days ago. First few days were great, no real side effects. I had seen the tips on electrolytes so I added that to my daily routine (was a fairly common for me prior to Zep as well) and I paid attention to the food intake to make sure I’m eating enough and as clean as possible.

2 nights ago I was at a work event and over the course of maybe 5 hours I had a beer and a vodka drink, about an hour or two later I felt like my chest was caving in. I historically carry stress and anxiety in my chest and shoulders. I’ve battled anxiety for the past decade and used to take meds for it, haven’t needed them in a few years. Suddenly, it all came racing back. Was okay throughout the day yesterday, then later last night it came racing back. Today has been pretty stressful. I’m sure adding the booze in didn’t help, but I’d expect that feeling to have passed by now.

I love the loss of food noise (didn’t expect it this early on) and the weight loss (down 5lbs from last weekend pre-shot) but this trade off with anxiety may be too much. I know everyone reacts differently, but has anyone with anxiety side effects found a good remedy? I’ll be talking with my doc as well but wanted to see if anyone had strategies that have worked for them.

Thanks for reading if you made it this far 😀
