Just wanted to give everyone an update. I talked to my dr and she was awesome. She examined me and said it was just in my head and causes by stress. My blood pressure was totally fine. She recommended that I see a therapist and upped my Zoloft to 150 and gave me 30 klonipin until I see either her or a therapist in the next month. I felt such a peace of mind after telling her and taking just one klonipin. I'm on day 3 and if I have crave a drink again I will just remember the night of fear that my weekend of partying caused me. Thanks for all the support.

I found that the sentence "I'm a heavy drinker" helped my doctor piece everything together immediately and then my symptoms made sense to him and we talked about the possibility that I'm an alcoholic (which I am, I just didn't want to use the "A" word).
