Common Questions and Answers about Alcohol abuse brain
alcohol
Does anyone know or have a link to a website that describes the effects on the brain of long term alcohol abuse? I've been feeling great these last few days of being clean and sober, but I still feel foggy and confused easily and wanted to learn more about it and if I've caused permanent damage since I started drinking so young.
Imaging studies report shrinkage in brain ventricles - the fluid-filled spaces within the brain - indicating that the brain is growing as the spaces shrink as alcoholics recover from alcohol dependence.
"And when they stop drinking, you can show in a period of weeks, months, years, the brain grows back, there's a return of metabolic activity, and cognitive tests show a return of function," Crews said.
Becoming free from alcohol is a very doable thing. But remaining free from alcohol takes work. I had to take part in my own recovery and work on myself so I would change. If I don't change nothing changes. Nobody could do that for me. But there are millions of us in recovery all over the world. So freedom for you is out there waiting. Keep your willingness and continue to make the steps in the right direction like you've described in your post. You don't have to be sick anymore.
My question is this I have a history of alcohol abuse, it started about 12 years ago when I had my child, I met a guy (who I spent 10 years with), could never get a babysitter so he started bringing beer into the house (only ever drank when I went out prior to this) after a year we were drinking a full bottle of scotch together every night,I had a very highly paid job god only knows how I kept it without being dicovered, after 10 years I left him tried to make a new start abroad it went wrong I
as a rule narcs can be stopped much less dangerously than heavy alcohol abuse//physically// cos as a rule there is no risks unless a narc user is old and has heart failure//mentally both r a true bumber//and aftercare for alcohol abuse is almost imperative cos it is everywhere//and drug abuse is not socially acceptable like alcohol is..peeps do not pass out oxys at the bowling alley like they do beers
u didnt state what ur abuse issue was/or if there was one at all???..
The results of B12 deficiency due to alcohol abuse can result in damage to the spinal cord, and in severe cases, to the brain. Alcohol abuse can cause other nutritional deficiencies such as thiamine deficiency which can result in symptoms including impaired memory, visual changes, and lack of muscle coordination.
Although your symptoms may be the result of chronic alcohol use, I would highly recommend that you visit a neurologist for a formal evaluation.
Alcohol seriously damages the liver, the central nervous system, the gastrointestinal tract, and the heart as well as severe brain issues. Have you ever heard of "wet brain"? Long term alcohol abuse can cause a retardation effect referred to as wet brain. I've seen it in person and it's not nice...
Most often MDMA is not pure. If you mix PCP with amphetamine, it's a similar experience. I've taken pure MDA and pure MDMA, but there's no lab making that anymore, unless you know a chemist. Don't experiment with these drugs, they can cause long-term brain damage. The brain is amazingly placid, so most people recover from experimentation, but don't keep playing with your brain chemistry. Focus on a good diet and lots of water, you should be fine.
The above is usually for brain aneruysms, abdominal aneruysms would be different. Which one were you referring to?
Please consult a doctor immediately both for a clinical and a psychological assessment. Depression, dementia, alcohol abuse, migraines, diabetes, abuse of certain drugs etc can also cause auditory hallucinations or hearing voices. It can also be a part of schizophrenia, schizoaffective disorder, schizophreniform disorder, shared psychotic disorder, brief psychotic disorder, bipolar disorder, substance-induced psychotic disorder.
Hence it is important to consult a doctor as soon as possible.
t work that way. Alcohol is a drug just like the others and is just as dangerous. I never liked alcohol. In fact, I've been drunk enough times to count on one hand. However, I plan to never drink again. Why? Because the brain has no way to differentiate between the chemicals that I use to alter my mood. You're discovering that addiction actually has very little to do with the substances we take. It's a mental disease that changes the very way we think.
Our daughter was forced to have unsupervised custody last week where she informed us that he was vomiting all evening. I have researched symptoms of alcohol and Tylenol abuse and found possible signs of liver damage. For the concern of my daughter, we are extremely scared on what he is capable of when she see's him. We are hoping anyone who has experience on this could offer us advise.
s common to suffer from insomnia when you are quitting alcohol or any downer. Exercising is a good start, because that should keep you focused on being healthy, feeling good, and eventually tire yourself out enough to fall asleep. But... natural cures are hit and miss. Some people swear by Melatonin or 5-HTP. I'd suggest that you ask your doctor for hypnotic sleeping pill(Lunesta instead of Ambien since it's much healthier and harder to abuse.
no other neurologist has ever asked this question. I think it is an important one.
Is it possible to have symptoms of brain problems due to being hit in the head?
BUT, would these show up on MRI's? Negating MS as the diagnosis? My MRI's appear to be fine, and I suppose after all this time, I have done reasonably well in life after the abuse.
Just kind of a jolt to the system to see THAT question........
He had his surgery done @ Johns Hopkins and told his surgeon he had substance abuse issues alcohol and oxys so they detoxed him while he was recovering from brain surgery. My question is, he now wants to enroll in an inpatient rehab to address his issues is this possible so soon after surgery? The only problems he is experiencing are headaches and mild fatigue.
I have been drinking about two six packs of beer each day for about 7 months. I have decided to try quitting once again. I have read how some people have seizures when they abruptly stop drinking. Does anyone know when you are out of the "danger zone" when you withdraw from alcohol abuse?
if the xanax is in addition to the alcohol.....then he's really playing with fire here. being a medical student, you should know already how diazepam is used for withdrawal from xanax. this needs to be dr surpervised and the process alone of switching from xanax to valium is a long process...but ultimately at these doses and with alcohol in the mix, perhaps thats the best route? a doctor will know best...but the alcohol needs to be dealt with FIRST...then the xanax.
how can i help my dad getting over his alcohol dont get mw wrong hes been off it for four week now but he keep on taking painkiller everyday and hes not eatting that much as well is there any vitamins or anything that could help him.
Bad lifestyle choices, like poor nutritional habits, smoking, substance abuse which includes alcohol-sake is a very powerful alcoholic drink!-
deplete even more energy from the body.
My guess is that you have a candida infection, and that your alcohol is feeding the candida, being one of it's favourite sources of energy for growth.
If you feel the need to consume alcohol, it's not just your brain that wants it, it's the candida also that wants it!
