RollerDerbyCoach,

Welcome to NeuroTalk. Sorry to hear you are struggling so.

First, many of us have been able to live long and full lives without alcohol and/or caffeine. If the beer is causing a problem, I think you know the answer. I can not tolerate one beer. For me, a single beer causes a miserable hangover/foggy feeling the next day.

Some people get no benefit or a negative reaction from EMDR. Studies show that for many, properly targeted CBT (Cognitive Behavior Therapy) is as effective or more effective.

Are you doing anything nutritionally ? The anxious brain is usually in serious need of B-12 and the rest of a good brain health vitamins and supplements regimen. You can read the Vitamins sticky at the top and get a good idea of what the brain needs.

Other than the intolerance to alcohol and caffeine, what other symptoms are you struggling with ?
