Hi, Thanks for writing to HCM. I understand your concern. Alcohol intake is bad to the body, particularly it is known to damage the liver. It is good that you have made up your mind to give up alcohol. It needs lot of self-determination to do so. Medicines can be used to help treat alcohol abuse and dependence. Medicines most often used to treat withdrawal symptoms during detoxification include: 1. Antianxiety medicines namely benzodiazepines such as diazepam. 2. Seizure medicines to reduce or stop severe withdrawal symptoms during detoxification. Medicines used to help you stay sober during recovery include: 1. Disulfiram which makes you sick to your stomach when you drink. 2. Naltrexone which interferes with the pleasure you get from drinking. 3. Acamprosate which reduces your craving for alcohol. 4. Topiramate which helps treat alcohol problems. You need to take Vitamin and mineral supplements especially Vitamin B1 (Thiamine) and also need supplements to help replace fluids and electrolytes. These things are to be done under strict medical supervision with counselling sessions. Hope the information provided is clear. All the best.
