Detox at Home
Hi, I've never posted before, but have been reading for over a year. I stopped drinking again on Mother's day, was a 6 can per day IPA 6.3 ABV or equivalent for many years. Been to rehab once. I wanted to ask if lightheadedness is a problem on day 2. Feels like I took an ADHD pill. Or is this one of the normal symptoms. Maybe too much coffee?

Oh, and I'm regularly on medication that says not to drink with it, but I have not had a problem for months until I stopped drinking. Hmm I'm listening to myself. So the real question is isn't lightheadedness/ anxiety normal or do I really need a doctor now? What is a seizure precursor?
Welcome to SR, Jo. I am not familiar with the precursors of a seizure, but if you are concerned, I recommend you talk with your doctor. Does your doctor know your drinking history and that you recently stopped? I think it's important to have medical supervision. Detox is different for everyone. Some people get through it with not much more than some physical discomfort. For others, it can become a medical emergency. It's always best to see your doctor.
I agree with Suki, Jo…if you’re worried please do see your Dr.
My lightheadedness was linked to high blood pressure - not saying that’s your problem, of course, but it’s another reason to get checked out.
