Be realistic, a Dr appt is a good idea, but it will take time, the body can't reset years of drinking in a night!!
During my most recent month and half long binge, I had the terrifying experience of numbness and tingling in my left arm, left leg, and then the left side of my face. I just knew I was on the way to a stroke. I didn't have one, but the terror that it was imminent was almost enough to cause one in and of itself! I went to the doctor and got meds to help me through withdrawal. 8 days later, I feel much better. I would advise seeing a doctor, just to be on the safe side.
