Alcohol withdrawal

Описание: Alcohol withdrawal occurs when a person suddenly stops or significantly reduces alcohol consumption after prolonged, heavy use. Your brain adapts to the constant presence of alcohol by altering its chemical balance. When you remove alcohol, the central nervous system becomes overactive, leading to physical and mental distress. This process typically begins within hours of the last drink and can last for several days.

Symptoms range from mild to life-threatening. Common early signs include hand tremors, anxiety, nausea, and insomnia. In more severe cases, you might experience hallucinations or seizures. The most dangerous form of withdrawal is Delirium Tremens (DTs), which involves extreme confusion, rapid heartbeat, and high blood pressure. Because of these risks, medical supervision is often necessary to manage the process safely. Doctors use specific medications to stabilize your system and prevent complications.
