Common Questions and Answers about Alcohol abuse withdrawal symptoms

alcohol

Avatar n tn hi. just to reinforce the previous replies, alcohol withdrawal can be dangerous business and self medicating is usually not a good idea. lorazepam is highly addictive and a tolerance can be developed in just a few days. additionally, some (like myself) have required intravenous administration of meds and even become dangerous to themselves and those close by. hopefully you haven't reached that point of chronic abuse, but you should still see a competent physician for the best outcome.
Avatar f tn Heavy drinkers who have a history of dependency usually experience the worst withdrawal symptoms. There are many different types of symptoms that can present themselves. The symptoms can range from mild to even life threatening. In rare cases withdrawals can even last for years but know this for sure, the worst feeling of withdrawal will likely be immediately after you stop drinking. For me I was drinking 23 beers a day and spending $600 a month. My worse withdawals lasted only a few days.
Avatar n tn 3) 7 drinks a day for 4 years is a heavy use of alcohol. Indeed, there is a strong possibility that withdrawal symptoms will occur if use is abruptly stopped. 4) Can't answer that without knowing which vitamins you're talking about, and an evaluation of your concurrent medical conditions.

Avatar f tn 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.
1563920 tn?1299288683 If you look at my past posts, I have been dealing with neurological issues for some time now. I have been very depressed about everything, from having to quit nursing to my inability to work and drive. During this time, I have been turning to alcohol to kind of deal with my problems, not such a good idea, I know!!! It hadn't seemed to be a problem until last night. A group of my friends, including my boyfriend, went out for my birthday.

Avatar n tn m still experiencing what I believe to be are withdrawal symptoms from the detox. I had been a daily smoker (2-3 times a day of high grade MJ) for the past 4 years. I loved it until I started to experience anxiety and paranoia when I would smoke. So, I decided to go cold turkey. I also just ended a pretty toxic relationship at the same time. This relationship was filled with verbal abuse and constant mood swings from my very unstable EX-girlfriend (no wonder I self-medicaed with pot)..

Avatar f tn 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
Avatar n tn Seems long term alcohol abuse would be more the culprit. I know that long term opiate abuse does not produce this behavior...
Avatar m tn I've been drinking once maybe twice a week for 4 yrs..approx 1liter/ to3/4 of a bottle of Vodka each time.
Avatar m tn 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.

299889 tn?1257339377 How long have you been tapering and from what amount did you taper down from? Chilling and shaking were major symptoms for me during withdrawal from vicodin. My body didn't regulate itself temperature wise for about 3 weeks after I quit. I would chill and shake like I was cold one minute and then be sweating the next. You can get withdrawal symptoms while you are tapering.
Avatar m tn In addition, the addict may turn to alcohol, marijuana, and other drugs to avoid feeling the unpleasant withdrawal symptoms, which include depression and mood swings. Withdrawal from cough syrup can be a very disheartening experience. According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, long-term use and subsequent withdrawal of DXM involves symptoms such as insomnia, dysphoria and depression. DXM addicts also complain of itchy skin. The hardest part of DXM detox is the depression.
Avatar f tn Never had difficulty with alcohol, but off nyquil for 2 days, hot sweats, severe headache, irritation. Can anyone elaborate on their experience or similar? Thanks!
Avatar m tn hi.. don't worry that drug abuse treatment is very costly. many drug rehab centers are available to treat you against Drug addiction.Please have patience and try to quit it because its good for your health.
Avatar m tn Take heed and realize that at such a young age your liver is responding to the alcohol abuse. It's awesome that you are addressing the fact before the damage has occurred. Not only will drinking affect your liver, but drugs will also cause distress. The combo will likely exasperate the outcome. At this time your liver will heal if you quit partying. Prolonged abuse on the other hand can/will create problems down the road.
