    Drug Addiction Withdrawal for Benzodiazepines, Alcohol and Opiates
    For those who need to detox from anti-anxiety medication, tranquilizers and sedatives such as Benzodiazepines (Valium, Librium, Xanax, Klonapin) or alcohol, the drug addiction withdrawal symptoms may include insomnia, increased amounts of anxiety, irregular heartbeat, profuse sweating, tremors, headaches, body-aches and the possibility of life-threatening seizures. Severe alcohol detox symptoms also include visual or auditory hallucinations and delerium tremens or DTs. Benzodiazepines and alcohol both work by depressing the central nervous system (CNS). Abrupt cessation can result in convulsions or seizures and for this reason, benzodiazepines and alcohol are the most dangerous forms of drugs to safely detox from. Medical supervision at a hospital or licensed drug rehab facility is highly recommended for a safe detox.

    I agree with the above posting. It most likely from the withdrawals. You should visit your doctor and let them know that you are detoxing from alcohol and what you need to do to begin to lead a healthier life.
