Hi
Welcome to practo.
It is better that you consult in person, go to a nearby psychiatrist for investigation and treatment, as most of the time benzodiazepines are required for alcohol related withdrawal symptoms .
Thanks and regards.

Hello Mr.
It's absolutely fine , if you wish to have video
consultation for De-addiction .
If your are in mild withdrawal or no withdrawal
then actually it's best time to consult online for
de-addiction without wasting a minute .
The more time you waste after ur last drink ,the
chances of withdrawal and it's severity may
increase, better get treatment at intial stage.
