Having hallucinations I made a comment on another poster's topic but thought I would start a thread of my own rather than hijack hers. So, how many of you get hallucinations after about two or three days of no sleep when you detox. First day, I usually stay inside. Second day, sounds really freak me out and I can't talk to people. Third day (now), I feel like I'm losing it. I've got the freaky-deakies doing things out of the corner of my eyes and I'm having serious auditory hallucinations. I cure this by putting on the headphones and watching a series of TV shows - currently Hustle. Please share. Cheers, Catfisher. |
yea, after the first 3 days in rehab and then for several weeks after I couldn't sleep, and thought I was hearing voices, I heard every little noise in the house, I heard a bird chirping probably from a mile away, I felt like I was on an acid trip except this was "NO" party! My psychiatrist got me on medication that I was responding to well and we continued and it got much better. |
Please detox under medical supervision. I was lucky that my dextoxes were never that severe. May I never find out. I hope this is the last detox, cat. |

Catfisher, Alcohol detox CAN KILL YOU. Please, please go see a Dr and at least get some medical advice. If you are hallucinating you are very close to full blown DTs which have a 35% mortality rate. You might live, you might not. This is like playing Russian roulette with 2 bullets. Even in a hospital setting, DTs have a mortality rate of 5-15%. Here are 2 links on DTs: Delirium Tremens: eMedicine Critical Care Delirium tremens - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Please do not F around with this. |
Hallucinations are never good news Catfisher... I had a bad last detox - had several mini strokes. I'll carry the legacy of them forever now. Nothings more important or more valuable than your life. There's some medical links on this page...I hope you'll reconsider. http://www.business-in-asia.com/medical.html D |
Yep night three terrifying visuals, night four not quite as bad but present, day five and out the otherside. I think the only symptom I have never had is the strokes Dee talks of which scare me the most but know that next time could be that time. This is one of many reasons I never want to go back. Day231 and loving it! |
Catfisher, I can't tell whether you are bragging or complaining? |
Cat...where in Asia are you? I lived there and it is not devoid of healthcare. As has been stated hallucinations are a very bad sign. I never had them thankfully. Please reconsider getting medical assistance. I hope this is your last detox. |
Cat, I know you think you've got it under control since you have been through it before, but it is important to have a doctor at least know what you are doing. The other posts weren't suggesting that you necessarily go into a facility and have your detox supervised, they just meant having a professional somehow up to date on your health - I would think. I didn't do that and consider myself lucky, but this is not a game. A couple of times, when I was detoxing, I thought I would see something move or feel or hear something, but it wasn't severe; plus, after reading a bit on the dangers of detoxing, I wasn't sure whether I could trust I was imaginging it either. If this happened again, whereby I had to detox, I would like to think I got some medical attention into the picture. Good luck with your journey through this. |

Anyway, I got a decent nights sleep with some incredibly bizarre dreams. Feeling a little tired and fuzzy but not so trippy. |
I just googled for the health care stuff Catfisher :) Health Care in South Korea - Vaccinations, Hospitals, More here's another page with some clinics recommendations for SKorea - I recommend you use Google if these are no good to you - you're more familiar with Korea than I am :) I'm not suggesting you're in danger of stroke, or a ministroke. But it happened to me. I'm not a doctor - but any disorientation, confusion, coordination problems - need to be addressed. here's a list of things to look for A TIA (ministroke) is different than a stroke. However, the symptoms of TIA are the same as a stroke and include the sudden development of: Muscle weakness of the face, arm, or leg (usually only on one side of the body) Numbness or tingling on one side of the body Trouble speaking or understanding others who are speaking Problems with eyesight (double vision, loss of all or part of vision) Changes in sensation, involving touch, pain, temperature, pressure, hearing, and taste Change in alertness (sleepiness, less responsive, unconscious, or coma) Personality, mood, or emotional changes Confusion or loss of memory Difficulty swallowing Difficulty writing or reading Lack of coordination and balance, clumsiness, or trouble walking Abnormal sensation of movement (vertigo) or dizziness Lack of control over the bladder or bowels Inability to recognize or identify sensory stimuli (agnosia) PubMed Health - Transient ischemic attack D |
I do hope that you see a dr or go to an ER about your concerns. |
