can the withdrawl symptoms come back

hi everyone,
as many of youse know i was put on detox meds. i started off with 15mg 4 times a day for a few days them 10 mg 4 times a day for a few days which i had a big improvement and felt happy and people saw the difference in me and were happy for me but then i dropped to 5 mg just on a night and when i got to this point i became realy depressed and was crying for practically nothing and even told my bf i needed to be away from him to decide what i wanted in my life as my head was allova the place so i end up drinknig as i basically felt screwed up. within 2 weeks i drank 3 nights whereas i used to drink everynight so my question is can drinking these 3 nights bring back withdrawl symptoms as today i felt sick, weak, tired and shaky and spoke to my doctor who has started me back on the withdrawl tablets. also i have recently started the gym to try and help me as doctors have recommended exercise to make me feel better yet even though i have been when i havnt been hungover i have come away feeling worse (ie feeling totally drained from energy, shaky and sick) so i dont know wheter im suffering from withdrawl or wether the gym is causing more harm than good.

Every time I drank I suffered withdrawal again, so yeah it's possible sharp.

Exercise is great - but don't over do it - we've abused our bodies for a long time...be gentle

light exercise is best for a while...what have you been doing @ the gym?

Yes, I agree that it's possible. And, I think each time we quit drinking, it gets harder physically and mentally.

I'm glad you talked to your dr.

i havnt overdone myself at the gym as i told them i had anxiety so i do the pace im comfortable with. i warm up for 5 mins on a bike then go on the toning up equipment which isnt bad then i go on the cardio which is 20 minutes on the bikes and 20 minutes on the treadmill. iv seen some right show offs running on the treadmill for ages but i just stick to walking as i suffer anxiety. 1st time i went i came home and as soon as i sat down i fell asleep and it was only 4pm and 2nd time i went i became weak and shaky. i know theres something not right but i dont know wether its through the withdrawl, my nutrition or wether im dehydrating myself.

Well that would kill me LOL...but if you're happy with it, go for it

Maybe it's something to ask your Dr then?

  • Hydrate. This means 2 times the amount of water you normally consume.
  • Go easy on equipment. Your heart has taken a beating. Don't over exert yourself.
  • Eat raw nuts if you can get your hands on them. Evens your metabolism slowly.
  • Most importantly, focus on your head and spirit at this point. Treat your body gently and kindly.

Any time I went back to drinking and then quit again I had bad w/d symptoms. No matter how long I drank for I felt horrible. For me I don't ever want to go thru w/d again.

And do drink lots of water and juice to flush the toxins out of your system.

For a while after, I would have some low blood sugar issues. The symptoms I had were shakiness, a little lightheaded, weak, and sometimes a little confused. Try eating a combo of protein and carb (apple and pb, crackers and cheese, greek yogurt and berries) every couple of hours to even it out. Just my opinion...not a dr, of course.
