My Alcohol Detox Dairy.

[Dr Kong, AKA Wayne]

Hi Folks,
Firstly this thread is not about sympathy seeking or anything, just want to let members now what its like on a detox, I know someone here is thinking about detox and wants to see how I get on first.

Well I took my first dose 8.30 this morning, at the moment I am shaking badly and on near point of having a panick attack.

I am feeling hot then cold, one minute I am under the quilt on sofa , then back out again.
Just waiting for GP to ring, cos nothing was mentioned about taking propranolos, on last detox I had 2 a day, just feel I need one now and just want to double check with GP first.

I keep looking at my watch cos I really need another dose, next one at noon.

My stomach feels tight and a little earlier heavy chest. my legs are like jelly and wobbly.

This is an 8 Day course by the way.

Oh yeah sorry,
Day 1 & 2 is Librium 10mg x 2 Four times a day (8 tabs) and day 3 to Day 8 reduces down each day until on day 8 just one tab at night.

Also I am taking thamine and vitamin b strong one each a day, also GP said I can take a sleeping tab at Night if I need one, just waiting to speak to GP to make sure its ok to take propranols too, if so will be one in the morning and one at Night.

Well I am a bit more relaxed now, I was really anxious earlier.
My next dose is shortly.
