delayed alcohol withdrawal symptoms. Is
this possible?. I have been alcohol free
going on the 7'th day now and the first 4
days were not nearly as bad as I had
anticipated (no cravings, sweats, tremors
or anything) even though I was just coming
off of drinking12 beers almost every day
for over a year. I have been taking
campral and xanax to keep the withdrawal
symptoms in check and they *seem* to have
been working pretty good for those first 4
days but on the 5'th and 6'th days of my
sobriety, I began to start experiencing
some fairly intense cravings along with
mild sweats and hot flashes as well as
anxiety, the jitters, muscle twitches,
trembling and a whole lot of weird
sensations in my head (including a spacy,
zoned-out, bug-eyed feeling). Have you
ever crossed your eyes for a few seconds
and your head feels all weird?. Yup, i've
been getting that feeling too.
Anyway, is this a delayed alcohol
withdrawal and is there even such a
thing?. I'm really getting confused here
because I was under the impression that I
would feel normal again within 4-5 days
but instead, I feel like my iq has dropped
20 points and my brain has been pickled.
Maybe I have mild brain damage??.
