The severity of your detox will ultimately depend on the level of Alcohol you have been consuming. If you are a binge drinker, you should know what to expect as you experience a withdraw after every binge. However, if you are a daily drinker you may be in for quite the experience. The Basics The most common withdraw symptoms are as follows: shaking nausea diarrhea profuse sweating achy joints inability to hold down food vomiting Insomnia. These detox symptoms can vary in intensity depending on your level of alcohol consumption. In some cases the withdraw will be minimal and in other cases it will completely debilitating. In this case a stay at an actual detoxification center with qualified staff will be necessary. Now it is time give mention to the worst Alcohol detox symptoms of all. Delirium Tremens Grand Mal Seizures These symptoms are common among people who have been drinking on an every day basis for an abnormally extended period of time such as months or years. Delirium Tremens is typically a series of vividly tormenting hallucinations. This is a part of the psychological detox and will be a challenge for the drinker to overcome without the assistance and comforting care of qualified people. Grand Mal Seizures are perhaps the most dangerous and most feared symptom of all. Seizures are potentially fatal and should always be treated by a medical professional. In conclusion, it is my suggestion to enroll in a detox center; however, if this is not possible it is always a safe bet to have at least one person to look after you while you undergo your withdraw. Make sure to have a phone nearby in case an ambulance needs to be called.
