The Answerer before told you all symptoms of withdrawal BUT I feel I should mention very heavily that alcohol detox is extremely dangerous and can be deadly.

Alcohol and Benzodiazipines are the worst medically to detox from.
Death can occur in the first few days of detox.
The seizures caused which i can guarantee you will get are very serious, strong seizures that needs FULL MEDICAL CARE.

You need to enter a Treatment program OR see your Doctor ASAP, even attend the ER, before going any further with the withdrawal.
It will get worse BUT I am not trying to scare you out of it. I WANT you to succeed BUT SAFELY.

I've done withdrawals. And are now apart from being a nurse I work in Drugs and Alcohol.

It's all about Genetics sadly, however, from what I've heard it depends on how much the consumption was, if you've been drinking heavly for the past 10 yrs you might want to take to a doctor! Quiting could be deadly to you...

Again, it depends on stages, in class we learned that you can experiance the following symptoms as your body detoxs it self:

jumpiness
nervousness
shakiness
Anxiety
Irritability
rapid emotional changes
Depression
Fatigue
clouded thoughts & bad dreams
Migranes!
?Sweating, and with that plays in the nausea and vomiting
Loss of appetite
**** sleeping difficulty****
palpitations
enlarged, dilated pupils
Abnormal movements

However, in the case of people quitting cold turkey whom were heavy drinkers...
Hallucinations, feeling of aggression, and even fevers ironcally can occur! There are people who can even "black out" because the body depends on that "extra" sertonin for comfort!
