Hi shanti29 , alcohol withdrawl's kick in after about 12-24 hours of stopping depending on how much you have been drinking and for how long, this also determines the severity of the withdrawl's- if i understand your post correctly these symptoms started 3-4 months after you stopped drinking- they are not related to alcohol- it takes about 7 days approx, again depending on how much and how often you drink, for all alcohol withdrawls to recede- whatever the cause it is not alcohol withdrawls- trust me i have experienced enough of them over decades of alcoholic drinking - stick to the meds the doc gave you and hopefully you will start to feel better shortly- all the best
Thanx for taking intrest in reading my post n replying to it. Yes it started after 3-4 months. I used to drink in past for almost 5 years. N suddenly i stoped. My friend told me dat might b its bcoz of sudden stop of alchol.. I read many things in google dat wen u drink a lot d body used to alchol. N i suddenly stopped it. Im taking tablests for past 5 months. My head was like blocked. Wen u get cold how ur nose gets blocked jst d same way. I used to feel heavy load on my head. unwanted things used to cum in my mind. So i tried 1 bottle of beer in a week. N now d block thing is complete gone. I jst dnt knw its bcoz of med or bcoz of drinking again. I will send u one link plz open d witdrawal symptons of alchol
