I am 30 years old and I have always been a drinker although in the last 18 months this had got out of control. I have been on a detox for 2 1/2 weeks now decreasing alcohol until 10 days ago when I completely cut down. The first 3-5 days were horrendous with insomnia, lethargy and anxiety. The anxiety is better now and most other symptoms have improved. My problem is that I feel anxious about feeliing anxious and have found myself having to cancel meetings, appointmnents, abandon shopping trips and/or avoiding public places because I just feel too anxious.

Help?

I am trying to give up alcohol after many years of heavy drinking. I keep experiencing severe withdrawal symptoms. Inpatient or rehab is out of the question for a variety of reasons-its simply not possible, I have tried. How can I safely detox myself at home? I know flushing my system with lots of water, meditation, etc. but I need something more. Please do NOT answer this unless you know what you are talking about. Telling me to go to AA and simply not to drink is now what I am after. Only an alcoholic who has been there will understand. Thanks for any input

I have been drinking heavily the past 9 months from ptsd symptoms and back pain with little medical help. I used to be in recovery and am trying to get back to that life but I am experiencing serious withdrawals for the 1st time in my life…shakes, sweats, cold chills, nausea, constant pain in my body and anger. I drank a pint today to take the edge off and am wondering if I will have to start all over or will my body begin to adjust to less and less alcohol until I can totally quit? I am trying to drink nothing by this w/e?

Please don’t answer this to put me down as I am already doing this enough myself. I really need guidance. high ratings for serious replies and thank you all in advance

The classical use of medications for alcoholism is to encourage abstinence. Antabuse (also known as disulfiram), for instance, prevents the elimination of chemicals which cause severe discomfort when alcohol is ingested, effectively preventing the alcoholic from drinking in significant amounts while they take the medicine. Heavy drinking while on antabuse can result in severe illness and death.

Naltrexone has also been used because it helps curb cravings for alcohol while the person is on it. Both of these, however, have been demonstrated to cause a rebound effect when the user stops taking them. These do allow a person to overcome psychological addictions to alcohol, but they do not treat the neurochemical addiction.
