I have been feeling awfully hungover for the past 9 months. It all started after a night of drinking last summer. I woke up in the morning with a hangover, and it lasted for two days, then one more, and so on. I have absolutely no explanation for it. General health condition: healthy 23 years old male, no known health problems before. 7 years smoker, occasional drinker, in good physical shape. Financial, personal, and general situation very positive, no reason for sadness in general. Symptoms: - waking up every morning with horrible internal tremors which last for the whole day, eye-popping headache, extreme numbing especially in the face area, very dry lips and feelings of extreme thirst. - inability to sleep less than 10 hours with constant waking up after ~6 hours of sleep. - nightmares and very vivid dreams. - anxiety, feeling of impending doom all the time, inability to socialize without constantly shaking. Personal life taking a huge toll. - depression. - bruxism, teeth grinding all day, teeth hurt and some of them are chipped already. - muscle pain and stiffness. Involuntary muscle cramps in the morning. - mental fog. Things I have tried: - went to psychiatrist, taking lexapro (10 mg/day), mirtazapine (30 mg/evening), alprazolam (1 mg/day) for the past 6 months (they barely scratch the issue). - did multiple tests at multiple doctors (blood and stool tests, abdominal echography, got sinuses checked) - treated h. Pylori infection that was found when doing stool tests (have not re-done stool tests to confirm infection was treated) - converting to the healthiest lifestyle possible: quit drinking, quit smoking, lots of sport. - tried many diets: keto, vegetarian, vegan, low-fat, low-cholesterol, generally healthy food, no fried stuff - tried supplements: l-thiamine, nac, cbd, probiotics, multi-vitamins, calcium, magnesium. Things I thought about trying: - doing a brain scan. - talking to psychiatrist about changing medication (don't think it would do much). What could my condition be? I am very close to giving up, this feels like it has no end. If anybody has any idea what this could be, or knows about a similar experience, and could point me in any direction, I would appreciate it very much.
