Common Questions and Answers about Vitamins for quitting alcohol

I am so glad that you have finally come to a realization that alcohol abuse is truly poisonous to your body. It leaches vitamins and nutrients out of you and damages your central nervous system. That is why I always suggest that alcohol detox take place in a hospital under medical supervision. You need to be on medication such as benzodiazapines to prevent seizures and have IV vitamin supplementation, especially thiamine, among others. Please do not take this advise lightly.
i have been heavy drinker for 5 yrs, recently i stopped drinking, its been 2 months. after 3 weeks of quitting alcohol, i suddenly has this dizzness, i am feeling i am about to faint, and fear, and i feel like i am going crazy, rapid heart beats,usually i heard this symtoms appear just after stopping alcohol..i had this symtoms after 3 weeks of quitting , i am perfectly fine before that, after i got that..
Congratulations on your choice to quit drinking, it won't be long until the smell of alcohol goes. After quitting myself for the last 13+ years I can tell you that I very early on hated the smell of alcohol, so you may be getting more sensitive to the smell since quitting...
i underwent inpatient rehab in 1983 used from 14-28....smoked pot daily for 11 years,heavy alcohol use several times a week.....mixed drink person....valium 10 mgs. several times a week to bite anxiety after drinking and help sleep....bad thing there a benzo...thats a cousin to that xanax ur using.....and also last year of use got in2 a cocaine habit several times a week a 1/4-1/2 gram per episode.That was 27 years ago i'm 55 now.....i've had no relapsing....
I was on xanax for 1.5 years and antidepressants on and off during that time. I am now off all drugs for 5 weeks. My body is so sensitive to all meds now. Like over the counter aspirin or ibuprofen or even taking kids vitamins. Does anyone else have problems since they came off their medicines?
Recently I started tracking all of the business an social events I have been at with alcohol involved and noted that I have steadily "trained" for alcohol intake the last 15 years. I would prefer to just cut it all off but of course there is always a holiday, birthday, event or something else that either prolongs it or delays quitting. What is an effective way to just say "I am done with drinking?
Are you quitting completely? You didn't mention that. If you're having DTs you really need to go to the ER and get detoxed. Alcohol WD also plays with your BP. You could have a stroke. Doctors need to monitor you. As shmtty28 mentions, it's very dangerous if you're real toxic and you maintenance drink all the time. Also, look up your local AA hotline and talk to the person on the other end about exactly how you feel right now.
Which vitamins are most depleted in one's body when drinking alcohol excessively?
m clean from cocaine (crack) 10 years next month. what worked for me was going to 12 step meetings (admittedly i went for about a year)...changed all my friends..slowly but surely there is no longer anyone in my life who uses cocaine! it took some time, but that's what it took for me...time and replacing 'unhealthy' 'friends' with HEALTHY ones and true friends.
Glad you are here...keep posting and stay strong!
Then I started taking only Norco 10 mg. plus my 6-10 beers per day for 4 months. For 3 months I was taking 20+ Norco plus my 6 to 10 beers and 2 to 3 Xanax (2 mg). I started tapering off about 2 months ago and now I am down to 2-4 Norco, 1-2 beers and 2 Xanax. I have been feeling horrible!!!! Anxiety, Panic attacks, crying, jittery, depression, slight suicidal, sweating, chills, coldness, diarrhea, no appetite, stomach pain, and jumpy legs and body.
I have been on hydrocodone for about 5 years for back issues. I had no idea what I was getting into. I was also on tramadol off and on. I am on day 9 cold turkey and it us not good. I cry several times a day and get up nag go got up and went. Doesn't seem to be coming back. How long does this misery last?
So my husband and i began taking Roxi's about two months ago - we actually used it because we were in pain... at the time. Now, we are not in pain, and we cannot handle feeling dependent on anything. I hate the w/d symptoms!! Honestly, when we first began taking them we didn't know about the withdraw symptoms. Well, we didn't have any money for a day or so and thought we honestly had the flu. A friend who was using and abusing as well told us just get some and we'd feel better.
Hi, not sure if this helps but my drinking masked everything - emotions, physical pain and mental fatigue. I'm the kind of person whose mind races 100 mph but I'm constantly bored. Alcohol was a great picker upper for me but ultimately lets me down when it wears off. Now that I'm sober for about a month I'm really tired, lack motivation, and am having sleep issues. I figure this will work itself out in time as I didn't eat or sleep normally for a long time.
It knocks out cravings for alcohol and narcotics. It worked good for me with the narcotics. If you would drink on it you would not get sick but you would not get the effects of the alcohol. The down fall to it is if you don't have ins it is $1,000 a month for the shot where I live anyways. The pills are a lot cheaper. I don't know if you would be interested in it but just wanted to pass on the info to you.
Your strategy may work for a little while, but from my experience, weening off is harder than quitting cold turkey. You may make it a few days or weeks, but if you keep drinking, you're gonna convince yourself of something later that isn't in your plans right now.
Sorry for not really answering your question, but often times manning up, seeing a doctor and going cold turkey is what it takes.
I used Gaba (available at GNC) for the head trip that went with it. Immodium for the stomach issues. DO NOT try to take anything pharmaceutical for the no sleep issue as I found that you weren't going to sleep regardless so taking that stuff made me feel worse. I listened to music in my earbuds and just went through it. You have to make the decision that your done. We don't die from w/d but we feel like we are.
