Drug use record
Anxiety can be triggered by a variety of chemicals, including medications used for therapeutic purposes. Alcohol and caffeine may come as a surprise in this context because they are used for recreation and to induce positive emotions. Alcohol can induce an acute anxiety attack that can last as long as the intoxication. Substance addiction excites the nervous system, resulting in anxiety-like symptoms. This can exacerbate anxiety in patients with anxiety. Several medications used to stimulate the brain can also induce anxiety by overstimulating neural pathways.
