Severe back pain from alcohol withdrawal??
I recently came off of a drinking binge of 4 days straight drinking wine and vodka. Big mistake, I don't know what I was thinking but I havent had any alcohol since this past Thursday morning and I have been suffering since feeling like I was going to die. I am past the hard part but this morning Monday I woke up with severe pain in my back? Why didnt I have this pain any of the other days. Also I have been drinking gatorade, pedialyte,and lots of water every day. Today was the first day I was able to go outside. Will my back get better or should I seek medical attention. Also I took one tylenol but the pain is still there.
Am I going through alcohol withdrawal?
Alcohol withdrawal symptoms are: shaking, sweating, puking unstoppably, possibly also hallucinations and finally death(yea, it's fatal).. (it's not called withdrawal either, it's delerium tremens (the "DT's") if your alcoholism is not as chronically progressed as that,however, then the withdrawal will be more like 3 to 8 days of pretty much a different symptom each day first day.-.not too bad...second day -feel awful ... third day- flu symptoms and insomnia... fourth day- depresssion.. fifth day more of any of these previous symptoms (and also shaking of the hands ) ..and then, as you lift out of it, you get a day or 2 where your senses come back, but everything is a little TOO amplified (colors are too bright, food tastes extra great, youre a little TOO happy...by the 8 or 9th day you finally feel normal again so ...if this was from alcoholism, you'd either experience all that (for 3 to 8 days) OR you'd go into DT's and require hospitalization, so you dont die inbetween being progressed enough to have weeklong withdrawal periods, and being that bit worse (where you cant stop puking if you dont drink, and see things, and need medical help to detox or death results), is the phase where you are having week long withdrawals( if you dont drink that long!)....and your hands have become permanently shaky...and if you manage to go about 5 or 6 weeks without drinking, you'll notice a lot of memory and ability to think clearly will suddenly return one day (so this shows that yes the "withdrawal" can take months, not days,) (because even after your body detoxifies (purges the chemical from it completely), there is still a lot of brain impairment that has been caused, and it takes time for the brain to rewire itself around the damaged areas)..
Alcohol withdrawal? please help?
4 months, it could be minor. I think the definition is 5months of 5 pints or more will cause the body some major withdrawal. I did 1 year everyday of 9-12 beers. Finally had it though. Slowed down a month ago of drinking 3 4 times a week of 6 drinks. And i even felt withdrawal cutting down. went cold turkey 4 days ago. Got some mad symptons. Shaking, Confusion, Sweating, Slight hallucinations. Finally had it, today went to doctor, couldn't even talk to the receptionist i wuz feeling so crappy. Told doctor the situation. Gave me valium, 7 days worth, while body detoxes. Took first valium an hour ago, feeling better. Not all high and crap like they say. Valium is a benzanoi-something something. keeps the GABA in your brain going, like alcohol use to. Definately goto your family doctor. Goto Wikipedia.com , It will give you some insight. Good Luck, Screw alcohol. ps. realred has no idea what he's talking about.
Alcohol withdrawal panic attacks, need help.?
So, i'm 22 and have been drinking almost everyday since i was around 19-20. Last month i was in the movies when this sudden fear/sense of impending doom rushed over me. My heart started to race, i got super shaky, and just had to get out. So i went outside, tried to calm down. It didnt help. I was soo scared because i didnt know what was happening, i thought i was drugged! So i called my mother to come pick me up (was too shaky to drive) and she took me to the ER. The doctor said i was probably going through alcohol withdrawal, "How can that be doc? I just drank last night". Apparently my body needed more and more alcohol, so i was going through withdrawal while drinking..........That panic attack was the worst feeling in the world, literally. So i quit drinking for 3 days then got back to getting drunk everyday. Then yesterday AT WORK i had another panic attack, this one was more severe and my heart was beating soo fast i almost passed out. The worst feeling in the world once again came back to me. So i left work and went back to the ER. They told me the same thing "You need to stop drinking, your too young for this to be happening to you, you have your whole life ahead of you!" Yesterday was pretty bad all day, and today im a little bit more calm, but im super tense and literally scared for my sanity because everytime i have a panic attack, it makes me feel like im losing my mind. Ive never been more scared. So im back where i started, 2 days sober and hoping for some inspiration to keep going the distance. Because i hate being this scared, and hopefully some of you can relate to what im going through. Thanks guys :)
If benzos work for alcohol withdrawal, can alcohol work for benzo withdrawal?
I wasn't planning to take the two together. I've been on klonopin at this same dosage (1mg three times a day) for nine years. I was prescribed when I was fifteen and I'm now twenty-four going on twenty-five. Since both benzos and alcohol work on GABA, I wasn't planning on combining the two together. What I was curious about was whether or not I could use alcohol to help the symptoms of klonopin or clonazepam withdrawal until I can get my medication.. Right now I'm getting the crappy stomach/band around the head/bad memories/no sleep/nightmares if anywhere close to sleep. I get my prescription tomorrow, but I don't know if I should continue on the 1mg a day or try to stop it while ahead. I was prescribed this when I was fifteen for anxiety, now it feels like it has a life of it's own.
How long do alcohol withdrawal symptoms last?
def not after 21 days. maybe cravings and a "wanting" but def no withdrawals. Alcohol withdrawals only takes 3 days. but I do know....... If you stay drunk for 3 or more days in a row, then stop suddenly, can send you into seizures and kill you.
Will drinking a beer or alcohol help with withdrawal from trazodone?
A beer may make you feel better, it has that effect on people. 50 mg of Trazodone is a very low dose, and you were only on it 5 days, you should not experience any intense or prolonged withdrawal symptoms. Your anxiety is probably not related to trazodone use at all. Trazodone peaks in approximately 1 hour after ingestion; the half-life of trazodone is only 3-6 hours - it is all out of your system by now. It is metabolized by the liver and 70-75% of it is excreted in urine within 72 hours of the last dose. I've used 50mg trazodone on and off for sleep disorder, it has a side effect of drowsiness, I never noticed any withdrawal even when using it for a week or two at night time.
