Hello,
I did end up having a little too much again the last several days. I spent yesterday calling facilities again offering detox and they are all filled up for anywhere from 3 days to 3 weeks. I called my doctors office and they said go to the ER. Some of the treatment facilities said the same thing. So I went yesterday. I was drinking yesterday so my vitals never got too bad while I was there and they sent me home several hours later. I told them that my vitals WILL change. They did not seem concerned at all. This morning all was well until around 15 hours after my last drink yesterday. Since the doctors in ER were not concerned I am NOT doing a taper this time and have no alcohol in the home and no access to get any for about 2 hours. Well, as I was saying sometime this morning, BAM! It starts to hit! Chills and squirts like crazy. I didn't bother checking my vitals until a few hours ago and they were getting quite high. I popped an extra blood pressure pill and laid down for about an hour. The vitals seem to be getting to more respectable levels. Oh and before I forget, the hospital did not send me home with any kind of benzos or anything like that. As I said they did not seem too concerned.
I guess why I'm freaking out is I think I can get my vitals under control. Assuming that, I don't know but I just feel like POOH! BAD! This is the first time I ever stopped without doing a taper or at a detox facility.
I guess I'm just not sure what to do, especially if the vitals go back up. I guess I could go back into ER and just be upfront with them to give me a couple days of Valium or something? Also, the taper did work well for me so I don't know if I should start another one of those???
But OMG, the chills, then sweats, then chills again, WOW! This is pretty crazy and not fun. I'll check my vitals again right now to be sure they aren't going wacko again.
That is all, just I guess puzzled about how ER released me yesterday knowing my background and such....... oh well, I will continue reading and hope this passes soon
