4. Wolfchild wrote about withdrawel symptoms and this had really concerned me. I am a binge drinker and before when I stopped for days or even weeks I simply quit. As far as I know I had no symptoms. After reading this I do feel tension in my left arm and can sense my blood pressure rising, but that might be because I'm now scared of getting symptoms upon quitting. What kind of symptoms should I be on the look out for and when are they likely to occur?
Hi Midton
It's a public board - it's important for us to stress here you can suffer serious health risks from withdrawal, and you should always check with your doctor to be totally safe.
But it's a '
can suffer serious health risks from withdrawal' not a
will.
Here's a thread detailing some experiences of detox from SR members. I hope it gives you a clearer perspective

Having gone through a detox and having not seen a doctor, I heartily recommend doing so, especially if you're worried.
