What Kind Of Vitamins Can Be Used To Treat Alcohol Withdrawal Syndrome?
Question: what kind of vitamins can be used to treat alcohol withdrawl syndrome (especially brain cloudiness)?
Brief Answer:
Consultation
Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.
Vitamins cannot directly treat alcohol withdrawal, as this requires prescription benzodiazepines and careful monitoring to make sure you don't have seizures.
However, certain vitamins can certainly HELP, and here are my suggestions. Folate, B12, and thiamine are very important, and can help with brain cloudiness as you ask. I would also take a multivitamin. This combination is very helpful and I highly recommend it!
