A member asked:

What can i take over-counter medicines for alcohol withdrawl? i have night sweats, headache, low apetite, and nausea?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See a doctor NOW: I gather you just stopped alcohol suddenly. Forget the drugstore, as you could have a withdrawal seizure, tremors, and even full-blown d.T's. Get to a hospital er right now. You are at great risk. Do not delay, get treatment.
