Hi
You are probably suffering from withdrawal syndrome.It is not easy to quit drugs and alcohol at that rate.You quit these things progressively and under observation.I advice you see the doctor and brief him on your drug and alcohol life so that he will tell you exactly how to quit them.
wish you a quick recovery
