What is seropax?
You are probably referring to Serepax which is the brand-name for oxazepam, a benzodiazepam. Benzos are often used for anxiety, insomia, seizures and alcohol withdrawal. Serepax has also been used off-label to treat social phobia and posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD).
What drug is often used to curb withdrawals in alcohol addiction recovery patients?

Is alcohol withdrawal worse than heroine withdrawal?
I don't think that saying that "alcohol withdrawal is "worse" than heroin withdrawal" is a helpful comparison. A better way of saying it would be to say that "alcohol withdrawal is more dangerous than heroin withdrawal." The primary reason that alcohol withdrawal is considered to be more dangerous than heroin withdrawal is because with alcohol withdrawal, if not under medical supervision, there is a very good chance of death (due to the seizures that often accompany withdrawal I believe). Now this isn't to say that you WILL die. But why take that chance? (I have heard that you can die from heroin withdrawal too, but I believe that that is an extremely rare). I am currently trying to quit drinking, but have had several medical professionals tell me not to quit drinking yet because I am not yet in a medical facility. I know it sounds strange, but continuing to drink is something an alcoholic should do until they can be under medical observation. Reagardless, the main point of the comparison is to break this myth than an alcoholic could/should just say "I'm not going to drink anymore" and just sit at home detoxing by themselves, because there is a very significant chance that they could die. If you are an alcoholic, and are trying to quit drinking, you should consult some sort of medical professional, preferrably a specialist in alcohol recovery, who can advise you in the steps you need to take to overcome your addiction without putting your life in jeopardy.
Abbreviation dt means?
Delirium tremens, also called DTs or alcohol withdrawal delirium (AWD), is a severe type of withdrawal from alcohol. It usually starts about 2 to 3 days after someone dependent on alcohol ends a long drinking binge. DTs usually last for 2 to 3 days, but symptoms may linger for as long as a week. About 5% of people in alcohol withdrawal get DTs. If untreated, delirium tremens can cause a heart attack, stroke, and death.
Is there an over the counter drug to help detox from alcohol?
There are no specific over-the-counter drugs designed for alcohol detox. It's recommended to seek medical advice for safe and effective detox options, as withdrawal from alcohol can be dangerous and may require medical supervision. Symptoms can vary in severity, and a healthcare professional can help determine the best course of action for your specific situation.

Is it safe to take 50 mg of librium?
As long as it is not taken with alcohol or other depressant drugs. Librium (chlordiazepoxide) is used for short term (2-4 weeks) treatment of anxiety which is severe and disabling or subjecting the person to unacceptable distress. It is also indicated as a treatment for the management of acute alcohol withdrawal syndrome. That being the case, we wonder why you are asking this question. If you are under a physician's care, there should be adequate information available. You should know that this is a dangerously addictive drug when used for more than a couple of weeks, and that unsupervised withdrawal can and often does result in life-threatening seizures.
What is the treatment for Alcoholism?
The sufferer of alcohol withdrawal should seek medical attention, especially in more severe cases. Often sufferers of alcohol withdrawal will be given prescriptions for anti-anxiety medication, and should be kept in a relatively stress free environment to prevent worsening of the stress caused from lack of alcohol. In some cases, if the sufferer is at risk of Delerium Tremens, they will need to be treated immediately by medical personnel.
Does doing acid cause withdrawal?
No, the actual process of taking the acid will not produce withdrawal symptoms. Withdrawal symptoms appear when someone is trying to quit the drug, or go 'cold turkey.' quitting the use of any drug will cause withdrawal symptoms, it just depends on how often you used the drug, and for how long, to how severe the symptoms will be, and how long they will last for.
Can drinking to much alcohol cause a seizure?
Last night I had a seizure. I had drank a bit too much alcohol (although not rediculous amounts) I'm speaking of around 4 pints of lager and a vodka. I do not have epilepsy. I had stopped drinking at around 1:00 am and went to bed feeling intoxicated but not ill, dizzy or incapable. I woke up in the middle of the night needing a drink of water. Went to get one and after tasting the water my seizure began. I bit through my lip completely during it and woke up with vague memories even though I was conscious (but in an altered state of mind) during the seizure. This seizure probably was not caused by alcohol alone, but also malnutrition and stress. I had not eaten anything all day and I am under a lot of pressure at work and home.
