I always get an 'emotional hangover' after drinking. It only lasts about a day and because I expect it, it's not scary anymore and i know how to manage it. Also organising your drinking around a morning-after where you have no commitments means you are free to be low.

I definitely think what you drink and in what environment are massive factors, try to chart you moods on what you were drinking and what kind of night developed because of that.
If you're worried about an alcohol medication clash definitely talk to your doctor and if these lows are lasting more than 24hrs after drinking i'd advice probably going teetotal for a while.
