What Are The Best Vitamins , Over The Counter Drugs
Question: what are the best vitamins, over the counter drugs to take when quitting alcohol for withdrawal symptoms. I can get benzos as well but would like to know what deficiencies the body has when quitting alcohol so I can get everything to combat the withdrawal
Brief Answer:
Vit B 12
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
Thanks for your query.
Vitamin B12 is the vitamin which gets absorbed less during alcohol intake and results in its deficiency.
Supplementing yourself with VIt B12 when you have stopped consuming alcohol is a wise way to replenish the vitamin.
Also, Vit B1 would be necessary to avoid the withdrawal effects.
You can take a Bcomplex pill or a combination pill containing 500mcg of Vit B12 and 100mg of Vit B1 daily.
Hope, I answered your query.
Wish you good health.

Vit B 12
