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).
The most common cause of seizures in adults is often related to structural brain changes, such as those caused by brain tumors, strokes, or traumatic brain injuries. Other significant factors include epilepsy, alcohol withdrawal, and metabolic disturbances like hypoglycemia or electrolyte imbalances. In many cases, the exact cause may remain unidentified, particularly in the context of new-onset seizures.
Benzodiazepines, such as, diazapam, lorazepam or oxazepam are the most commonly used drugs to help reduce alcohol withdrawal symptoms. However, some hospitals administer alcohol to prevent alcohol withdrawal, although there are some potential problems with this practice.
Diazepam is the most often used tranquilliser for alcohol withdrawal. Withdrawl from log term alcohol abuse can kill and should be carried out under supervision.
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.
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.
No. Alcohol detox can be fatal, and should be medically supervised in a clinical setting. High blood pressure and seizures are common, especially in people who have been abusing tranquilizers as well.
Seek medical assistance for professional guidance and support. Treatment may include medications to manage symptoms, hydration, nutrition, and counseling or therapy. It is crucial to avoid sudden alcohol cessation on your own as it can be dangerous and potentially life-threatening.
Alcohol is a neurotoxin that affects the brain in a complex manner through prolonged exposure and repeated withdrawal. Alcohol-related psychosis, including in many cases hallucinations, is often an indication of chronic alcoholism.
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.
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.
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.
