What My Next Steps Should Be To Address Feeling Heightened And Illusory Thoughts Due Heavy Drink?

Posted on Fri, 14 Feb 2025

Question: Hello. Last night I had a lot to drink, and smoked a cigar. I am experienced with both those things, however I am worried that this specific cigar has given me insomnia, as I was unable to sleep after I woke up at 4 AM this morning. Earlier in the morning, I was feeling heightened and illusory thoughts, as if I was "high". Those have since gone away, but I still feel like I am walking on a cloud, not in full normal consciousness. I am wondering what my next steps should be to address this. Thank you.

Detailed Answer:
Dear sir, I have gone through your question and I understand your concerns but alcohol and nicotine interacts together and leads to high levels of dopamine secretion.. This increases pleasure sensation as if you are high.. I would recommend that you stay with company and stay away from any hazardous activities until you are fully conscious again.. I hope you find this helpful..
