are these alcohol withdrawal symptoms?

i dont usually drink that much, i did during the weekends in the summer but once school started only about 2 or 3 times. since i came home for the winter though, i’ve been drinking a lot with friends and i did wed, friday, and last night. i think i should stop drinking at all because when i drink with my friends, we drank pretty heavily and the last thing i want is to become an alcoholic. when i woke this morning i thought i was hungover but i’ve never been hungover like this before. i dont know if it could be the flu or withdrawal symptoms but could i become an alcoholic after a few nights of drinking even though i did it every weekend in the past?? i feel soooo crappy and walking up the stairs makes me want to faint and im really clammy and sweaty and finding it difficult to think clearly or move without feeling nauseous. i considered if a bit of alcohol would make me feel better but……i dont know it seems stupid.

am I going through alcohol withdrawal?

I am asking to see if I am suffering from Alcohol withdrawal or something else. During the summer I was on percocets for 3 months for a bad back. I took it on and off. I stopped about 4 weeks ago, no sweat. I also drank on occasion during the summer, I have been drinkin for about 19 years. over 2 weeks ago I drank 5 out of 7 days, the last day drinking WAY too much. Next day as my hangover subsided, I had a panic attack. the next 3 days afterwards i was anxious but not too bad. Then the following Friday, another attack, followed by 3 days of pure anxiety, paranoia, shakes, I thought I was either going to die or go nuts. Went to ER, they dissmised it as a panic attack. Went to my primary the following Monday, he chalked it up to anxiety. A week of slightly feeling better goes by, I go back to my primary this past Tuesday and explain in detail what happened. He says it is anxiety brought on by alcohol withdrawal. I went through the same thing about 9 years ago, it subsided. Is this what I/m goin through? I feel a little better each day but I have moments where I am like WTF??

My sister and here husband have been married 5 yrs, but have always seem to abuse alcohol, pills, weed, and whatever else they have done. She has confided in me about there relationship, and she says she wants to get help, but never follows through. I just tell her you need to worry about yourself. The two of you can’t fix this alone. I suggest she leaves and seeks her own treatment if he isn’t into getting help.
The big kicker they have a 2 yr old son together and i feel like i should step in, i don’t want him to grow up in that enviroment.

Any advice on what i should do or what? I just want to help my sister and my nephew before its to late.
I completely understand the child is 1, and know it def. a tough love situation. Its so frustrating because she has been with him for a total of 10 yrs and she was so much better before him. She had so much potential for a great future , and i understand she still can.
Thats why our parents are seeking some type of guardianship for her son.
Enough is enough.
I love her to death, and don’t want anything to happen to her or my nephew.

Substance abuse problem?

Im applying for a residency and have been prescribed Naltrexone for alcohol dependence… to reduce cravings. They ask a question stating “have you been treated for chemical dependency or substance abuse?” Am I required to say yet? I have not been in rehab etc but I have been medically treated for it. I’d rather not put it down because I don’t want to jeopardize my future or opportunities.

My boyfriend had pancreatitis so bad, he nearly died in 2003. He was in a coma for 30 days and I remember sitting in Rush Hospital in Chicagao and looking at him wondering how long he had to live. Miraculously, he survived. His alcoholism and triglyceride level over 5000 nearly killed him.
It made him an insulin dependent diabetic, so he takes a lot of insulin every day.
I have told my friends doctor 2 times now he has problems eating. My friend says he vomits “grease”. He has to be very careful about what he eats or he doesnt digest and he ends up projectile vomiting until his stomach is empty. I dread going out to eat with him because I know he will throw up afterwards. He does not tolerate fast food at all. The doctor prescribed reglan thinking he had gastroparesis, but it didnt help. I think he needs some Pancrease to help him with digestion. I also think they are slacking because he has not seen a GI doc since he left chicago. What is your thoughts on this?
He sees his MD every 3 months following his near fatal necrotic pancreatitis. I want him to see a GI specialist to keep his pancreas in check. I think he has chronic pancreatitis and is not able to digest the fats.

Just kinda curious.. Withdrawaling from 1mg of klonopin (clonazepam) three times daily. I get my prescription soon. Can alcohol help with the withdrawal from klonopin (clonazepam)?
I wasn’t planning to take the two together. I’ve been on klonopin at this same dosage (1mg three times a day) for nine years. I was prescribed when I was fifteen and I’m now twenty-four going on twenty-five.

Since both benzos and alcohol work on GABA, I wasn’t planning on combining the two together. What I was curious about was whether or not I could use alcohol to help the symptoms of klonopin or clonazepam withdrawal until I can get my medication.. Right now I’m getting the crappy stomach/band around the head/bad memories/no sleep/nightmares if anywhere close to sleep. I get my prescription tomorrow, but I don’t know if I should continue on the 1mg a day or try to stop it while ahead. I was prescribed this when I was fifteen for anxiety, now it feels like it has a life of it’s own.
I was prescribed 50mg of hydroxyzine three times daily, but since I’ve been taking it, it feels like like a weak form of diphenhydramine that barely has any antihistamine/drowsy effects. I remember taking 200mg of diphenhydramine to induce dreams and/or delirium and that was ~500mg. I cannot sleep and I feel the urinary retention very tighlty. What else is there to do?
