What Are The Side Effects Of Abruptly Stopping Alcohol?
it depends on duration and frequency of intake of alcohol
Detailed Answer:
Hello XXXXXXX
Thanks for writing to us.
I can understand your concern.
If someone takes alcohol daily for more than 1 year and quantity was increased gradually since beginning, after stopping such habit suddenly there may be chance of alcohol withdrawal which includes following symptoms: sleep disturbance, tremors,anxiety,restlessness, decrease appetite etc.
This withdrawal can be treated with benzodiazepines medicines like lorazepam or cholrdiazepoxide.
If your father is feeling any of the symptoms, he should be given medicines.
Please revert back to me with his duration,quantity,type and frequency of alcohol intake.As well as if he has any medical problem or not.
Waiting for your reply,
Dr.Chintan Solanki.
