I can only say what others here will say, which is see your doctor if you think anything is wrong. Home detox can be dangerous.

Major props to you for choosing to quit. Your story is almost a perfect mirror of my own. We are so lucky that we've realized our problems at a young age... Can you imagine doing this at age 33, 43, 53?

And the mental "dullness" will fade. As I said, our stories are similiar: I'm also 23, I drank for 2-3 years in similar quantities. At six months sober I started to really notice my brain working again, and at nine months I feel almost none of that scary mental slowness.

Best of luck! You've found a good community.
