To preface I’ve always struggled with anxiety disorders. About two months ago I started drinking heavily on top of the marijuana I’ve already been heavily partaking in (I still do since it doesn’t seem to hurt me, I just usually lay off the funnel now). I was getting drunk every night and I don’t remember a lot of it. I had been noticing some tingling in my hands but I went to a doctor and she said it was probably anxiety and that was pretty much that. I got diagnosed with Lexapro which I was on awhile back I just got off it because I didn’t feel like going back to the doctor. Well a few nights ago I went to the ER because I had a weird bump on my hand (now gone) and the anxiety (I no longer believed it was anxiety but it retrospect I was definitely having a panic attack and that’s wha prompted me to go)was making my hands itch and I thought it was related but they sent me home with a few tests and nothing. The next night I didn’t go to the ER cuz I didn’t want to be the boy who cried wolf but I tried lying down for bed and my whole body burned. I woke my boyfriend up crying and neither of us could sleep all night. Now it IS triggered by anxiety. Whenever I feel anxious I start to get itchy and prickly in my arms and legs and sometimes back. My question is whether or not this is a result of my drinking and if supplements will help with this. I’m hoping the Lexapro controls the anxiety so it won’t trigger it and I’m also taking an assortment of B vitamins and Folate

Edit) I should have mentioned that I haven’t experienced any of this before
