I've been taking Mt. Angel passion flower dissolve tab(50mg/2-3x a day). I switched from 5HTP because it wasn't doing much for my anxiety issues. I've been getting some improvements and my anxiety appears to be cut by 50%.

Though, I don't get why I had some panic attack/alcohol sensitivity with alcohol. I had one beer at my college's Chillis this afternoon. I felt some palpitations, brief heaviness in my head that was off and on. I took my time and finished my beer. I went to my appartment and rested and chilled; I got dinner and studied. At 9pm tonight, I went down to my favorite patio/dive bar and got a blonde ale pint. I took a few sips and I felt okay; then about 5 minutes, I started having some heaviness, pressure, lightheaded, a brief short feeling(lasted 1/5 second). I was freaked the fuck out and split the bar. The bar was crowded as fuck with a lot of people. The Chillis's at my college barely had anyone there. So I've been thinking it might've been some anxiety of being in a crowded spot. Or could the alcohol and the passion flower cause some interaction.

Is there a technique to stop the panic attacks while drinking? Could the passionflower cause the panic attack or was it the type of beer, or was it just the setting where I drink at?
 
passion flower with a few beers can help with anxiety for sure
beer by itself is a good anti anxiety
it might be the brand of the PF as i never heard of PF causing panic attacks etc then again PF by itself isnt nothing to run home about unless taken in high doses
well since you mention its a tab of sorts that can be the issues maybe to much?
making a tea from dry hrb is a better route
dont take the PF and have a beer and see what happens if nothing does happen
add in the PF if you get a panic attack with PF added in then that can be the culprit
keep in mind PF and beer isnt like a benzo you have to put in some effort to calm down to it could dam well be that you are over thinking it thus causing panic attacks
i have taken high amounts of PF even smoked dry herb and never had an issue i have also mixed it with beer the only thing i ever got was sleeping like a baby
