Suggest Treatment For Extreme Stomach Cramps And Shaking
Background - I want to stop abusing alcohol, but when I detox I have extreme stomach cramps and shakes. My doctor prescribed chlordiazepoxide. It is not working. Is cyclobenzaprine a viable alternative ?. I ask because my primary is on vacation out of the US until mid-Jan.

Dear- I understand your concern and it is very important to avoid alcohol.Chlordiazepoxide is good to avoid the rebound when you stop drinking.However, it does not help to stop drinking.There is a pill named Disulfuram which helps to avoid drinking because it gives you nausea when you drink alcohol. You should benefit from AAA which helps you mentally and physically to stop drinking. I suggest you to join one of these groups.
I hope my advise has been helpful.
