Avatar m tn I would say stay away from alcohol just because of the medication you're on. That could have made you extremely sick. I've never heard the equation of 10% leaving the body every time you urinate and I've studied a lot about alcoholism and addiction. I used to give myself alcohol poisoning on a regular basis when I drank. 2 day hangovers were standard, and at times I would throw up over 15 times in a day.
Avatar n tn Hi.. As a recovering alcoholic myself (10 yrs clean), I've done my share of research. After a night of heavy drinking (to the level of losing conciousness) You will smell the alcohol over the next 24 hours as the body detoxes itself. The alcohol is released from the body through the pores of the skin (in addition to "regular" elimination). She drinks to the point of unconciousness because her body is taking in more alcohol than it can process.
672475 tn?1227793166 as far as mixing alcohol and psychiatric meds, the effects of the meds can be lessened, intensified or even result in severe psychosis as i experienced years ago when i drank while on a common antidepressant. the potential effects are also dependent on things like emotional status and any other substances being taken.
Avatar f tn The time your body takes to recover from alcohol abuse varies with the individual. It also depends on the length of time that you abused alcohol and the quantity of alcohol that you were consuming daily. It sounds like your symptoms are WD symptoms from quitting consumption of alcohol. The best thing is to find some OTC remedies for your symptoms and tough it out. Check the health pages on this site and other posts for specific OTC help for your WD symptoms.
Avatar n tn There is not much standardized research done on this due to the illegal nature of marijuana. You can find MANY websites on the effects of cannibis and blood sugar, though and I am surprised you are on this one asking questions. Do you really think someone is gonna get on this site and admit to breaking the law????? Please!
Avatar m tn Make sure you are drinking plenty of water to flush the toxins from your body, Gatorade is best for replacing the electrolytes. You will be fine. Think of it as getting lucky this time.

Avatar m tn I'm not real sure if this is where I should post this but my boyfriend went out last night and drank about 15 beers and said he had 1 1/2 liquor drinks on top of that. Normally each night he consumes about 6 or more beers a night. On a few occasions his body gets splotchy - chest & head only - and has a very hard time breathing - about to pass out - and gets chills. He has gone to the emergency room many times for this but no one seems to know what it is.
Avatar n tn during my binge drinking alcoholism there was many times i KNOW i had alcohol poisoning. felt like acid running through my veins. your whole body feels bruised. press anywhere on your skin and it hurts. actually have had some purple splotches. i think the important thing for you to do is stop drinking. yes, you may luck out and drink to the point of poisoning yourself and wake up in the morning, but one of these times you won't.
Avatar m tn i actually took antidepressants occasionally but not on the fateful night I took 2 tablets of sertraline the next night .
Avatar n tn My friend died of alcohol poisoning with a BAC of 0.70 does this not seem extremely high, is this possible?
Avatar n tn Can discoloration occur around the perimeter of the lips/mouth after food poisoning? If so, why?
Avatar m tn That is a dose that can be very harmful especially when you add alcohol to the mixture. I think you have liver poisoning from the 5600mg that you took along with the alcohol. You need to call your doctor immediately. Here is some stuff for you to consider. I am not a doctor but I can tell you that I am pretty certain that you did some damage to your liver.

Avatar m tn So did they treat you for alcohol poisoning?What was your blood alcohol level?
Avatar f tn To All : I was just wondering if the virus was undetected how could it replicate, and Great Bird explained why. Now it makes sense. I was not implying I was going to take up drinking while on tx. Not once during the trial screening was I told not to drink alcohol, which I found very odd, seeing as I was told not to drink green tea, or grapefruit juice. I assumed they didn't bring it up because my blood work showed no alcohol consumption, and I have very low liver damage.
Avatar f tn What are the symptoms and long term effects of Mercury Poisoning? What can I do to detox? This might answer a lot of questions for me including severe hair loss and other physical problems I have faced since that time. It would be a great help to me if you could shed some light on this subject. Thank you.
Avatar f tn And that is just the effects of Alcohol on the brain. It effects the liver and heart functions as well. I would suggest you stop drinking alcohol because it sounds like you may be abusing it and it will only make things worse. I hope this all helps you. There is also an organization, NAMI.org. You could get in touch with them to see if they have any help with the things you are going through.
Avatar n tn Before I could finish the bottle, I fell unconscious in the middle of the street. Two of my friends drunkenly dragged me off the main street by my feet. They slapped my face for 20 minutes, but I couldn't be woken. I was throwing up all over sizeable amounts of sick while completely unconscious. They finally called an ambulance, which apparently took 45 minutes to get to the scene and rush me back to the ER. I woke up around 8am, after 7 hours of beauty sleep.
Avatar n tn Even a possibility to alcohol poisoning! Not worth taking the risk again by drinking alcohol for any reason (: Best wishes.
Avatar m tn To what degree can the adverse effects of alcohol on sperm quality/numbers be reversed? How can this best be done? What timeframe would be involved in the process?
Avatar n tn 1) reach a level where the rate of alcohol elimination (and its effect on the respiratory system) far outpaces the time required (so to speak) for brain damage to occur at any particular BAC level (also realize that at high BAC levels, elimination is non-linear due to the action of enzymes not usually involved in the process with elimination rates around -.

Avatar m tn hi. it would depend on how fast it was consumed and how well her body metabolizes the alcohol. a persons tolerance can increase through repeated abuses, but in general that type of drinking indicates an increased potential risk of developing full blown alcoholism in addition to acute alcohol poisoning. to answer your question, yes, that could be at worst fatal, and at best a prelude to disaster.
1019388 tn?1340851086 I tend to experience tachycardia with large amounts of alcohol consumption but I was non the less, given the amount I consumed, experiencing some tachycardia (110-120 Bpm), some GI disturbance, and slight anxiety due to the HR. Left dinner party and went home about 3 hours after above. When I got home I all of a sudden (within a ten minute timeframe) was experiencing body aches in muscle groups I worked out (under 24 hours is not normal) and other places like my back...
Avatar m tn He has to get on steroids a few times a year to treat it. he takes alot of meds just for the asthma. And the increase in worsening is due to all the dust inhaled,morter durst, brick dust. Im sorry i dont have any answers but maybe this gave u some support.
Avatar f tn My best advice would be to educate YourSelf on the effects of alcohol on the body. If You were addicted to rat poison, You would CHOOSE not to drink it because You know it can kill You (and eventually will !!) Well, alchohol is a poison too.
