alcohol withdrawal
"Half bottle of vodka or bottle of wine a day for 20 years. Got worse when my husband died and ended up cutting my wrists on a binge. Started having fits/seizures about 8 weeks ago so decided to give up cold turkey. Biggest mistake ever as I couldn't understand why I kept having seizures. Started Librium as an inpatient along with IV thiamine. Got awful hallucinations to begin with but after that I can truthfully say I haven't felt this good physically and mentally for years. I self referred and the hospital were amazing. Please, please if you think you have a dependency then this medicine is the way to go. I truly believe it's not only saved my sanity but also potentially my life."
