Alcohol Withdrawal
"I have been an occasional binge drinker for years, going on 2-3 day tangents.  The next day, I have gotten the shakes very bad.  My doctor gave me Librium which really helped at one time, but it seems throughout the years I need a larger dose now.  What usually works is in the am as soon as I wake up, I take one 25mg. pill. 2 hours later another 25 mg. pill, then about 4 hours after that, another, 4 hours later another.  So that would 100 mg the first day. This is on the day after drinking.  On the 2nd day, I usually only need one or two 25 mg. pills, Then I&#039;m fine.  I&#039;m tired of going through this, think I&#039;ll start AA today or tomorrow.  Nothing feels worse than a hangover! Drinking doesn&#039;t solve your problems!"
