The anxiety associated with quitting any bad habit, especially drinking, can be very overwhelming. I understand you feel the need to get rid of it immediately, whether by drinking or taking medicines but i think the best thing to do right now is trust yourself and your doctor. Don’t take any medications other than the one prescribed and if you feel like the ones you have been prescribed aren’t giving you enough relief, you can consult your original doctor or a new one here. Please understand that some medications might interact with each other so it is not advisable to add anything to the current regimen without further assessment and consultation.
Next Steps
Consult a psychiatrist
Health Tips
Drink lots of water, stay in a dark room and take your medications on time every day, atleast until the hand-shakes go away.

Alcohol harm your body in every possible way, first you have to promise yourself to quit alcohol. Body needs time to recover from the harmful effects of alcohol. If you don't quit alcohol you will end up with a lot of issues related to health. "Alcohol is a slow poison"
For heart beat issue, you need to have a detail assessment and councelling with a psychiatrist.
