Mate, if you're having seizures you need to taper down your alcohol intake at the very least. You don't have to go to hospital but you need to be more careful about how you approach this, to minimise the stress on your body.
Could you even go to a doctor and explain your situation and ask for a small prescription of valium or something, just to help with the physical withdrawals?
The first time I got off the booze worked a charm.
See, I hate fish. Or seafood. The smell makes me feel like staining the pavement.
I bought a shitload of Vodka, and threw 750 mL into the first bottle. Then emptied fish oil into it.
That was day one.
Felt horrid.
Day two, 650 mLs, same deal wish fish oil.
Eventually got to 100mLs, and couldn't deal with the smell. I tapered from association.
Worked a charm. Well, for a while. Not much withdrawals. If any, from a litre of spirits a day.
Couldn't go to a party without 'imagining' fish on folks beer breath.
Shame though. Can't really do it again. I'd just go for another spirit, or beer.
But perhaps for some folk, this might be worth a try?
Measured doses, lock yourself away for a fortnight, and drink the most foul smelling liquids until you just want nothing of it. And as I mentioned, even beer from other folks breath brought back memories of that stench.
It's tricky though. I'm back on, but more scared to try this again than stop with other means.

There are prescriptions for drugs that decrease cravings. I don't know what is on the market where you are but naltrexone and acamprosate are two examples. There are several other things without a primary indication for increasing abstinence/decreasing craving that are prescribed "off label" for alcoholism. You may still give that Doc a call and see if he recommends anything.blahman8000 said:I was thinking of calling my old psychiatrist. He'd probably prescribe me something but I don't want to end up just substituting benzos for the alcohol. The withdrawals aren't too bad right now. I think I've gotten past the most of it.
