The interplay of our some neurotransmitters is such that it can make you feel this way. Your concern is genuine. But it is also important to stay away from smoking and alcohol (smoking>alcohol).
To be honest you don't need any of them. You need to consult a psychiatrist to work with your anti-anxiety medication and an active support from a clinical psychologist during this phase of your illness. You can beat this urge, this is definitely a stressful time for you. Do not hesitate to seek a consultation.
Next Steps
seek a consultation. You need a general practitioner/psychiatrist and a empathetic psychologist in this phase.
