Tell yourself that just one more will damage many more of your brain cells and that you refuse to have any more of your life stolen from you..
also you have to go through the horrible withdrawals again.( wouldn't it be good if there were warnings on every bottle or commercial that portrays all of the good times about the horrors of alcohol ). Also look at research about effects on your body such as wet brain syndrome, liver disease, depletion of vitamins and mineral..it is a deadly poison.

I have read that depletion of the B vitamins can contribute to anxiety and some re-habs use vitamin and amino acid therapy to help treat. I know that they have recovering addicts to take a good multi- vitiman.

I hope that all who are sober and clean will stay strong through the 4th of July Holiday. My prayers and thoughts are with you.

Does anyone know if you experience mental confusion with alcohol withdrawals after 10 days? Also what other symptoms after this time? Thanks
Loading...
yes, I experienced confusion, lightheadedness, disorientation, nausea, muscle cramping at times, sensitivity to light or loud noises, intense fear....thats all I can recall right now, hope it helps

Thank you, I have purchased a multivitamin and thiamine supplement, and alternate between both.
Loading...
yes that is helpful..not very pleasant but, something we need to know..someone having withdrawals said she thought she was losing her mind...it is heartbreaking.

hopefully the worst is over for you and your health is returning...keep on keeping the faith!

Thank you, I'm keeping it. Right now the confussion and dizziness is much less, and the little dizziness I have is said to be caused by the alprazolam they prescribed to help with the anxiety. What I'm concerned about right now is, my heart beat is a little irregular. It goes really fast sometimes if I exert myself sometimes in the least. I went to see the cardiologist, and he found that I have a 'disrythmia' and says he believes its a direct effect of the withdrawal, and that I wasnt at risk of heart attack at this time, this is what my echo showed. And everytime they check my signs, and my heart beat is accelerated, my blood pressure is normal and my oxygen level is as well, so they believe it is psychosomatic. I don't believe I've been properly diagnosed or treated, so I continually try to help and inform myself. I don't know if it might be a result of vitamin b1 (thiamine) deficiency. So I bought a supplement, but dont want to over do it either, cause I read it can also be bad for you to exceed the daily dose of such b vitamins.

Yes, it happened to me as well. Not at all a pleasant feeling. It should improve with time though. By my 3rd week I felt much better regarding that. I believe the medication for the anxiety helped me much, though I'm taking a very low dose of it.

Thanks to whoever posted the tip about B-1 in this thread.
And thanks to all the other posters.
While B vitamins are supposed to be water soluable and the excess flushed from your body, I have read that Thiamin Mononitrate, the most common form of synthetic Thiamine(B-1) is actually fat soluable and can build up in the body.
