    The Shakes

    Hi everyone,

    I'm sure this has been asked/addressed before but I can't seem to find any posts...

    I'm obviously drinking (and drinking too much) since I am asking this question. I wake up in the mornings and just feel like my whole body is shaky. Of course, what "helps" the most is getting home and having some wine. But, as we all know, this certainly isn't really helping.

    Is there anything to help get rid of this shaky feeling... other than more wine?

    Any help/advice is appeciated!!

      MissC,

      Unfortunately, if you quit cold turkey, that could be very dangerous, considering your symptoms.

      Do you have the ability to go to a doctor and discuss this? They can give you meds to help you withdraw safely. (Librium or Ativan)

      Or, consider going to the hospital and asking for detox. (Some hospitals do offer this, I did that.)

      Please take care and in the meantime, drink a lot, and I mean a lot, of water.

      Love,
      Cindi

        Hi MissCheryl,

        If you`re experiencing physical withdrawal, such as you describe, you must withdraw safely. i.e. gradually reduce your drinking over several days or by stopping drinking altogether with the help of a prescribed med under your doc`s supervision.

        My best to you,

            Thank you all so much for responding.... I very much appreciate it.

            I have quit "cold turkey" before and been able to manage it - pretty easily actually.... but, obviously, have come back to drinking. *sigh*

            I've considered that it would be good/safe to slowly "cut down" each day to relieve the shakes.... but, unfortunately, once I start with my glass of Chardonnay it quickly/easily becomes 2 bottles.

            I REALLY have been trying to avoid the doctor... just because I'm scared of what insurance etc may find out.

            I've been taking Milk Thistle.... just wondering if there is some "natural"/non-Rx remedy for these "shakes"....

            Thanks again for your replies..

                I found my shakes were mostly blood sugar related. Try 4 teaspoons of sugar or a couple of glasses of regular soda. See if it helps within 20 minutes. If it doesn't it may not be sugar but it did help with me. If it does stop the shakes then try to eat a 1/2 sandwich or something like that. I stay away from sugar now but I did find what I always thought was w/d was really a blood sugar issue.
