Nasty Withdrawals, help would be appreciated

[Jason209]

Lately I've been withdrawing near the end of the afternoon usually at around 3PM after waking up @ 8AM. It's gotten bad, if I dont get my beer before 6PM I start to hallucinate, like, snakes going through the grass & trees eyeballing me, anyone else have this?

Thirded.

Up to 15% of alcohol dependent people have severe withdrawal symptoms on cessation of alcohol, and up to a third of those who have severe withdrawal have seizures. Of those who do have fits, two thirds will have multiple seizures.

5% of people will develop full blown DT's. DT's are more common in those that have a long history of alcohol use and previous serious withdrawal. Given that the mortality associated with untreated DT's is high then your monkey MUST seek medical advice before they get to this stage

Hi There,

In the U.K, Librium has been used as an effective treatment for Alcohol withdrawal and for the management of DT's.

Good Luck.

go to a detox or a hospital (keep drinking till then to avoid withdrawls), dont try to detox yourself. alcohol withdrawl can be deadly.

Jason,

If you are hallucinating from your drinking, you should speak to your doctor about it. I would suggest you make an early morning appointment so you are reasonably sober before seeing him. Your post says your in Canada I am a Canadian as well although I live in Thailand now, feel free to contact me I might be able to give you a few other suggestions depending on your situation and where you are at. I don’t believe I am allowed to post links on here but if you search “Channah Thailand” you will find a 1-808 number on the site that will connect you directly to me if you would like further advice.



Ant456,

I'll second that at the rehab I work for in Thailand Librium is our primary detox drug, it is a benzo by the way.
