Brief Answer:
provide more details, needs multivitamins and supplements

Detailed Answer:
Hello,

In general during detoxification from alcohol with benzodiazepine (valium) multivitamins including thiamine are required.
We also need to find out that this lethargy is due to withdrawal or due to some other reason like alcohol neuropathy.

To help you further I need more information.

- Provide details duration, dose and type of alcohol intake.

- How did you undergo detoxification?(medicines, indoor, outdoor, cold turkey, gradual etc.)

- Do you have any physical illness?

- Let me know your blood reports if you have.

- How is your general health and fitness?

I will be happy to help further after your response.
Regards,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
