Heavy drinking stopped cold turkey yesterday recently attempted suicide lat week what can i expect also have bpd on 25-50 mg for 3-4yrs now

Seek immediate help: Stopping drinking cold turkey following attempted suicide the previous week strongly suggests that your impulse control is quite impaired. You did not specify what medicine you are taking - only the strength and duration. Recommend contacting your doctor for assistance in referring you for a higher level of care and/or go to the ED. Inpatient treatment may be indicated at this point. All the best.
