My doctor prescribed Xanax to treat alcohol withdrawal symptoms and to also reduce panic, as I just quit drinking. Does anyone have experience with using Xanax for this purpose? If so, any suggestions on how long it took before the withdrawal symptoms of alcohol went away, etc, etc. Any info is much appreciated. Thanks so much!

I recently decided to take alcohol out of my diet completely. I used to drink a pint of beer or so a night after work. I am on day 2 and feel pretty good. I am just apprehensive of if I am fooling myself. Is it possible I could still experience symptoms or DTs? Thanks!!

I’m talking like for a serious alcoholic…
This person is currently in the hospital and not had any alcohol in several days, not sure exactly how long. But he’s already almost died once, over the weekend, but now they are saying the same thing again that he may not make it through the night tonight.

What if the withdrawal occurs in the home with no access to alcohol or medical treatment?

I quit drinking in November and was in the hospital because i was withdrawing really badly. The doctor said I was alcohol dependent. He said it would take three weeks to withdraw from the alcohol. Anyways, I slipped up and had some drinks in January and February and still managed to have withdrawals symptoms. I still had the really bad anxiety and confusion like right before i stopped drinking. So how long does it take to not have withdrawal symptoms??

Oxazepam (Alepam, Medopam, Murelax, Noripam, Ox-Pam, Purata, Serax, Serepax) is commonly prescribed to help with alcohol withdrawal, as it’s a benzodiazepine derivative, instead of a full-on benzodiazepine like Xanax or Klonopin, which can easily transfer the addiction (even though these are prescribed for it as well.) What I’m wondering is if it would also help with the symptoms of someone with a physical addiction to marijuana once they have stopped?

I dont drink very much, maybe once every week to two weeks, but i just got back from vacation with a bunch of friends for 5 days and i was usually drunk by 11am and would stop drinking at 2 or 3 am. Is it possible that i’m feeling alcohol withdrawal after this vacation even though i only drank for a few days?

Any info please
