Worst night of my life!

I am weening myself from drinking.
I have been drinking steadily since August of 2005
I used to drink a pint of rum after work which accelerated to a fifth after I lost my girl of 6 years. I now drink a fifth of rum on average a day.
I recently started to have a drink in the morning and/or afternoon as well as from 6p to 8p when I would pass out.
In the past 3 or 4 months I started to feel weird at the end of the work day.
It soon dawned on me that i was feeling withdrawal symptoms within 6 to 8 hours of my last drink. Dizziness and trembling.
Since 8/15/08 I have moved back to one pint a day. I paced out my pint on Sunday from 12noon to 10pm and tried to go to sleep.
Right before I went to bed I came down with a massive migraine and became very agitated.
AFter going to sleep for the first time out of 5 last night, I had the most horrific experiences. My dreams started off as terrible nightmares. Then it seemed like someone was taking over my dreams with random thoughts and songs going through my head.
When I woke I was hearing noises that would make me feel like a lighting bolt passed through my body.
After that my dreams were so vivid that I was waking up in my dreams thinking I was actually awake. Strangely realistic dreams of all the stressful stuff I have going on.
I am thinking of taking Tylenol PM tonight, but to be honest I am terrified of going through what I went through last night.
Any suggestions PLEASE...
