How long alcohal withdrawl tremors lasts
Hi Doctor
I am on librium , baclofen and zolfresh 10mg medication from 1 week. I feel tremors when I stop these . Last drink I took 2 weeks back (15 days ).
How long will it take to get complete sober and out of tremors and alcohal withdrawl symptoms.
Even if I do heavy exercise or play long time badminton I start shivering and get tremors
Should I continue doing gym or play badminton ? Any further advise will be high appreciated.
