That sounds rough, my sympathies. I have 5 months sober Sunday. Except for the detox period which I did in-patient I really didn't suffer physically. Pretty amazing after almost 45 years of drinking and a lot of early drugging. My system seems to be somewhat resilient. I had a tough time emotionally mostly with my wife who declared open season on me after I got sober. Ended up packing my bags and hitting the road and feeling much better since then. I've sobered up and relapsed before but this feels real different, like it fits finally. Glad you're seeing your doctor, I think I'd stay in close contact and accept whatever is prescribed to ease the suffering. It will get better and normal will feel like a gift from the Gods. All my best.
