Yes, indeed.
Severe withdraw is like stepping into an actual nightmare. I haven't had any seizures, except for like mild flinching. Hard to explain.
I have experienced hallucinations before. I've thought I heard voices or animal like sounds that weren't really there (still not sure).
I know one night when I quit drinking after a very long bender I saw a person standing over my bed and I immediately jumped up with my fists flying. Nothing was there.
Really scary stuff.
