Hi,

Chlordiazepoxide is prescribed so that one can stop alcohol immediately without any significant withdrawal. I expect your doctor would have assessed your daily alcohol intake and then prescribed an adequate dosage of chlordiazepoxide. So you can start taking the medicine immediately and stop your alcohol intake safely.

Best wishes.
