Please have someone: Take you to the emergency room if you are withdrawing now. This can be a real threat to your health and sometimes even to your life.

Quite possible: And you should consult your doctor or an addiction specialist. Be dead honest about your consumption and take their advice.

Expected: This type of reactions (which may even include hallucination) is unexpected in alcohol withdrawal. You may talk to your doctor about how to go about doing it safely.
