Hello there guys. As you can see, i'm new to the forum. I joined because i'm concerned about both alcohol withdrawal and librium addiction/withdrawal.
I was recently prescribed librium for alcohol withdrawal(I have gone through many other greater alcohol withdrawals[drinking for two or more weeks straight; the big bottles of vodka....1.75 liter ones and many) . To be honest, I have insomnia , which is the only reason I drink. This last time I drank 3 big bottles of vodka within 2-3 days because i was really sleep deprived. I then stopped drinking completely, experienced the shakes/tremors and didn't sleep at all. With that being said, I went to the hospital before things got worse (twice). I was prescribed librium (50mg doses, 3 times a day-150mg total), but I try to take less (anywhere from 75mg-125mg throughout the day). I was wondering if I would get withdrawal symptoms if I take it for say 1 week/1.5 weeks tops? ....I started off with ativan 3 days ago since I hadn't gotten my librium prescription yet(i took about 2 or 2.5 mg of ativan that day since i had the shakes/anxiety real bad......i then started taking the librium sunday(a day ago about 125mg) ....today i've only taken 25mg, but only because i woke up disoriented/dizzy ....thinking about taking 25-50mgs later since i can't sleep and i get cold sweats at night. I just want to know if i'll get withdrawals from taking librium for a week to combat the alcohol withdrawals and the insomnia. Thank you, and appreciate it.
Also...will smoking weed help with the alcohol or benzo withdrawals?
