Withdrawal syndrome is temporary in the cases of any alcoholic. Crossing the stage of withdrawal is a crucial matter in the cure of alcoholism. I would suggest you to urgently consult a psychiatrist to deal with your condition, especially since you have started putting in your sincere efforts to save your life from alcoholism. Also, mustering support from close family members is going to be of great help in your current struggle.

Hi
If you're experiencing alcohol withdrawal symptoms, it's important to seek medical, as withdrawal can be alarming. Symptoms can range from mild anxiety and tremors to severe complications like seizures and delirium tremens. Contact a healthcare provider to receive proper medical evaluation and treatment. They can provide medications to manage symptoms and monitor your condition to prevent complications. It's also important to follow up with a healthcare professional for ongoing support and to develop a long-term plan for managing alcohol use. Avoid trying to manage severe withdrawal symptoms on your own, as professional medical intervention is often necessary.

Dear User,
As you are going through withdrawal, therefore you might be experiencing high levels of anxiety. This is usually the result of the increased sensitivity that the body displays when it has stopped drinking. Because of the anxiety you might be feeling on edge, and therefore you might be having difficulties sleeping as a result. You may try relaxation & sleep meditation. Consult a psychiatrist for medications and a clinical psychologist for helping you out with anxiety.
Best wishes

It's commendable that you've taken the step to quit alcohol, but it's also important to address the withdrawal symptoms you're experiencing. Anxiety, insomnia, and weakness are common during alcohol withdrawal, especially in the initial stages. I recommend reaching out to a clinical psychologist or a healthcare professional who can provide you with guidance and support through this process. They can offer strategies to manage your symptoms and help you navigate this challenging time. Additionally, continue taking your liver medication as prescribed and consider discussing any concerns with your healthcare provider.

Hi,
Alcohol withdrawal symptoms can feel extreme because the body has gotten used to alcohol and does not want you to stay without it. I would suggest that you get in touch with a detox specialist and take a prescription for meds that will help you through this process. Alongside, I would recommend that you work with a psychologist to get through this sailingly.
Next Steps
Consult a detox facility + psychologist. I’m a psychologist specializing in substance use, so if you’re interested we can do online sessions.
Health Tips
If the unusual feelings persist, please call a doctor
