Detailed Answer:
Hello

Thanks for the query

If you are experiencing any form of seizure due to alcohol withdrawal then I strongly recommend that you are supervised by a health professional during your de-addiction program. You cannot stop a seizure from coming unless you are on anti seizure medications. I usually give tab/injection diazepam for the first seizure and if there is a recurrence Levipill.
I also recommend you to get routine blood tests and a CT brain plain.

I hope I was of help, if you have any further queries please get back to me

Regards
