Thank you for these videos! I'm in my last semester of nursing school and I'm completing my preceptorship in a busy ER. Loving it so far and your videos have helped me a lot with both learning new concepts and reviewing concepts from earlier semesters. Hoping to get hired as a new grad in the ER 🤞🏻

I am an alcoholic, but I haven't had a drink for a few years now. Many years ago I went to Hazelton, the famed alcoholic treatment center in Minnesota. On my third day there, I experienced a mild case of D.T.'s where they had to stabalize me. On the first and second day, the friends I made told me I was walking and talking but not making any real sense. I assume I was being treated with librium, the benzodiazepine of choice for alcohol withdrawal. This was back in the early 90's and I don't remember a lot of it. Thanks to A.A., I was able to cope and successfully quit drinking. I "relapsed" a time or two since, but got bac k "on the wagon". Without it, I probably would have drank myself to death.

I've been a heavy drinker around 2 liters to 2.5 liters of vodka sometimes more and I've had 5 detoxes the last 3 I was getting seizures when I tried cutting down my self, I never knew I had them until my alcohol worker came to my house and see me have 2 seizures and phoned an ambulance. Every detox I've had i start hallucinating around day 2 or 3 but the shakes start with in a few hours and get so bad I can't hold anything or eat my self or drink I have to have a babies plastic cup so my drink doesn't spill when I hold it .I never sleep aither for at least a week and I think that makes the hallucinations worse they get that bad I don't know where I am I've been talking to walls I've smashed things because it gets that bad I feel bad that I caused the nurses and doctors a bad time

I was downplaying symptoms due to having schizophrenia. Turns out I've been having withdrawals the whole 4 weeks I've been cutting down. Hope this helps someone.

Check out Scared Sober- Delirium Tremens on KZfaq. I give you the patience perspective, uneducated, in a worst case scenario. But, i lived(!). Thank you for this video. I am always curious how you train for something so misunderstood and deadly. Dirk:)💯

I've heard that people going through severe and even moderate withdrawls get prescribed benzo's sometimes. Wouldn't benzo's just prolong the alcohol withdrawls since they both have an effect on Gaba?

@whyamimrpink78 2 жыл бұрын

It is tapered down. Just quitting cold turkey can be a huge suck to the body and mind. And it is very painful (I have done it many times). With benzos you are given a dosage and over a few days you are given less and less to where you body reaches a healthy equilibrium.
