At that point I was on an IV Ativan drip, with thiamine and potassium as well. After that nightmare I went to rehab for two months.
It's true for me that 4 days was the time I would tend to relapse. There is also the phenomena of kindling where each successive detox is worse than the last. It's a real thing.
I wish you all the best on your sober journey and hope you're feeling better soon.
