Holistic physician: I suggest you see a physician comfortable with using nutrition along with pharmaceuticals in treatment plans (this could be the doc u have already!). Then your specific needs can be addressed. Excellent multivitamins exist, but you may need more replenishment of certain things -- and a holistic or integrative physician could help define these. Some options at: http://www.Holisticboard.Org.

Vitamins: Since most alcoholics suffer a vitamin b deficiency, a good vitamin b complex and vitamin b-12 is a good place to start.

No such thing: You're looking for easy answers. We americans seem prone to that. There is no magic pill for your problem. You don't need a vitamin, you need overall good nutrition and good health and professional help from a clinician or clinicians with the appropriate expertise.

See your MD: There is no vitamin that will help you to recover. Keep up with your efforts in your 12 step program and definitely follow up with your md regarding your fatigue and chest pains.
