You need to call 911 or at least call someone to come over and be with you before it's too late.
And there very easily may come a moment when you can't dial three digits -- 911 -- let alone post here. They call it dying from alcohol withdrawal.
I had small seizures during my booze/benzo detox and experienced exactly what you are describing,

Your symptoms indicate it could be severe alcohol withdrawal which absolutely requires medical attention. Please either call 911 or have a family member/friend drive you to the hospital. The longer you wait the worse it could get. Keep us updated.

Nothing like that happened to me when I quit. I quit cold turkey. It is outside of safe. My brother wanted to quit drinking and those were the symptoms the doc told him to watch out for. He was instructed to go to the ER immediately if that happened.

Kllme..I really hope that you have called 911 and got some help with your withdrawal....
...That is the safest option...seizures due to alcohol withdrawal can be life threatening and have nothing to do with the amount of alcohol that you are withdrawing from.
It is relative to each individual person's seizure threshold.
Calling 911 and getting medical assistance will keep you safe...
I hope you are okay.!

Even scarier, this same thing happened to my Dad and he died a month later. For those that this happened to, how long did it last for? Usually my withdrawl problems are over in 36 hours. I threw up 6 times this morning. I have never heard of fainting being a withdrawl. Guess good thing is I can't drink today. I could never walk from my car inside, get it, and wait in line.
Did you know you can die from alcohol withdrawal????? Please get to hospital!!!!!

I had a few vertigo spells.......
4 total in my life...all while withdrawing after a binge....the worse one..back in 2012, brought me to my knees...called the ambulamce...saw a doc..told him i had a few drinks they night before...that i hadn't ate anything all day.. got tested....head to toe...took all day...they hydrated me...observed me for seizures......said it was panic attack and dehydration...
They good news was...I didn't have a stroke or have brain cancer etc...full up check up. Bad news was....I didn't learn my lesson...
When I quit drinking...they stopped. Go figure...
Still have anxiety...but at least I am not fainting from it...probably because my body and brain are completely free of alcohol.
Plus I am working out more than ever because of my new found strength and energy...
Bottom line...if you want to stop fainting...you know what to do...
