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.

Generally, uncomplicated alcohol withdrawal symptoms last for 7-10 days of sober period.Rarely, in some patients it may last longer upto 2-3 weeks.It depends on the severity of alcohol dependence and withdrawal symptoms and adequate dose of Benzodiazepine(lorazepam, librium) is required as a replacement therapy.If this dosing is not in accordance to the needs of the brain then it withdrawal symptoms may last little longer.If any medical comorbidity as thiamine deficiency then it may last longer.
Next Steps
consult psychiatrist expert in detoxification and de-addiction management.
Health Tips
doing strenous exercise/gym is not advisable during detoxification as it may worsen the symptoms due to possibility of electrolyte disturbances.Doing light exercise is no problem.
