Worried

I am on day one and live alone. I am worried about seizures. Does anyone know how long I need to be concerned?

Do you have a history of alcohol-related seizures?

Welcome to SR! Glad you are here. This is a great place to find support.

Hi Trooper - welcome

the thing is none of us are Drs, we can't give medical advice here.

Even if we could, seizures are very individual things shaped by many individual factors.

If you're concerned ay all, it really is best to see someone, even if it's the ER.

I understand that, but wouldn't setting your mind to rest about seizures be worth it?


There are a lot of free or low cost clinics around - if there's one in your local area you might get some medical advice there?

Free/Low-Cost/Sliding-Scale Clinics
The 10377 clinics in this database are free, low cost, low cost with a sliding scale based on income, or offer some type of financial assistance.

If you are worried about it then you should see a doc. I believe we get premonitions about our safety. Call it a guardian angel. I did not worry about seizures whe I detoxed at home.

I understand that this is a concern. The ER might cost a bit but what's the alternative? If you die money won't be a problem.

If money can solve something it's not a problem, it's an expense.

Take care of yourself!
