Telling my friends/family/boss and coworkers helped a lot. It's keeping me accountable. You can do this. The grass is green on the other side I promise you this.

@@Brick_Steve I’m trying to figure out if I should be going to the emergency room, I haven’t had any alcohol in 24 hours and my doctor has been prescribed me Ativan and it’s helping but boy I feel so bad. Just shaky and weird and irritating but I also this song when I sober or drunk. things names

best presentation so far on KZread so far on Alcohol Withdrawal

My son 43 called me Sunday night around midnight saying he was checking in Detox. Said they were taking his ph for four day’s He tells me he’s been getting sick for the last five Or six years if he didn’t drink. He said he has to have Twenty beers to keep the sickness away. So this also comes at a point that he’s had to drive himself to the ER a week ago. And after tell the ER doctor that he was having severe pain in his left arm and in his neck. Sunday night he’s telling me he had to return to the ER Friday night with severe pain again in his chest with high blood pressure also. My thoughts that possibly this might be a little too much after having his heart problems. Questionable thoughts about his health while starting DETOX after a possible heart attack?????

My wife was diagnosed with stage 3 liver failure and she started having seizures with her DT's when she cold Turkey-ed her drinking. They put her on 30 MG Valium per-day and she's fine now. The transplant committee says they are OK with Valium but if she takes ONE DRINK she will NEVER get a liver! ASK YOUR DR. FOR VALIUM (30mg PD) if your having uncontrollable withdrawals!

Can't think of a better talk I've seen in the last couple of years. Succinct but comprehensive, touched on the nuances of diagnosis (Mayo clinic data), and a very comfortable, relaxed speaker.

Cirrhosis patient with ETOH dependance here, just doing some research. Was admitted to the ER today and got IV fluids and released, had positive ETOH in blood work and it seemed like they just didn't want to deal with me. Wasting away but the PA did order some Librium for me to detox at home, so I am guessing I am somewhere in the middle of the scale. Thanks for the info.

They do that to my uncle.. I think it’s because they look down on ppl with this problem so they let them suffer to teach them a lesson. That’s what it seems to be because I seen my uncle shake, cry and ask for help at the emergency room and they just keep him waiting. I now also am struggling with alcohol just got a bad panic attack but don’t want to go to the hospital due to how ppl treat ppl suffering from this. It’s very scary but I will not drink ever again.. I’m done with this shit!!!

Thank you very much Doctor. Good lecture and practical.

Quit 15 years ago. Was unable to read for 3 weeks! Managed huge IT Programs! Didn’t know if I could work! Went away as I left treatment! Scary stuff!

Almost 2 years ago I had D Ts horrific to suffer alone I was hearing rock bands in my head, delerium,, cramps hallucinations, so uncomfortable and No sleep, didn't eat, it was about 8 days, my heater was playing music, was sick to my stomach, thankfully I didn't have a heart attack I had heart palpations, prolly AFib, oh my I'm glad I made it the Dr didn't give me a med for the symptoms. oh I forgot the diaphoresis. I was alone with my dogs I think my dog was worried when I had a seizure. I've hit my head hard while drinking and falling. I wish I had more help but I haven't touched the demon fluid in almost 2 years!!!😅😅my liver function was off the charts so I couldn't take the med that makes you sick if you drink.

Excellent talk. Thanks for sharing

Thank you so much Doc. It was well explained.

Thank you for this video ❤ it takes alot to care and you definately do. That was great information and we appreciate you

Omg I woke up with an anxiety attack and sweats 😤😤😤😤

One of the better lectures

I think it's only me. I'm on my 3rd night and didn't get normal sleep, but when i look at my phone to pass the time it's like i passed out. I hold my phone and always dropped it like I'm falling asleep, but when i look at the time it's the exact minutes. And that happened several times now. It's like a blackout, but for a second

awesome boot camp

I've heard that people going through moderate and severe withdrawls get prescribed benzo's sometimes. Wouldn't benzo's just prolong the alchol withdrawls since they both have an effect on Gaba?

the alchohol withdrawal is DEADLY, can't stress that enough. benzo's can put a cushion on it. They are long acting. your point stands yes the patient will withdraw from "whatever" for longer, but if it's serious alcohol withdrawal you're saving a life.

You should explain what "bolus dose" means.

This is interesting I was trying to firgure out why I didn’t get withdrawal from alcoholism now that I’m on lamotragine which is a calcium channel blocker I wonder if this has caused the difference as it’s the only thing that’s changed between the drinking and quitting before and the drinking and quitting now maybe a link there? I know I’m in withdrawal because I have the same stomach issues as I usually do and nausea and dehydration but not the shakes or extreme anxiety I always get and the flu symptoms it’s just the stomach pain like a sudden increase in stomach acid and gastritis type symptoms but not psych symptoms or flu symptoms shakes or severe anxiety and mood changes

Also on qutiapine which effects dopamine but that never seemed to help before it’s only being on lamotragine that has changed been on 100mg for a year 100mg qutiapine for years the lamotragine didn’t seem to change the feeling of being drunk or my tolerance that I noticed just the withdrawal seems to have very few of the usual symptoms I’m wondering if being on it while I was drinking was somehow protective of my brains calcium and gaba pathways I’ve never had seizures I take the medication for bipolar so I was expecting to be more susceptible to mental health effects of withdrawal

I unfortunately suffer seizures 2 hours after reducing alcohol.

Great video... but one thing it does not cover is energetic attachments. Most addictions come with energy attachments. I have worked in a spiritual hospital in Brazil for 10 years. Have seen addicts healed in one visit by removing the energy attachment. If you believe in 'ghosts', then you know, drunks/addicts that die, sometimes do no move on into the Light, they stick around to hang out with a physical incarnate human that drinks/drugs to continue their addiction until they are ready to be healed.

Like Jack in the movie The SHINING at the bar

This is the dude you don’t want when presenting at the ER. Someone that is more concerned with the etymology of his practice than the actual condition of his patients. I had an ED physician prescribe me a short taper of Librium to take home and it was not nearly enough to keep me out of the woods as I had a major tonic-clonic seizure two days out of the hospital. The protocol was severely mismanaged and it led to me almost dying. I followed their direction to the T and all I got for it was a seizure, trip back to the hospital and a huge hematoma on my head from flapping around while seizing up. Dudes like this are part of the problem. They care more about being right than being kind.
