Drug Rehab Options Blog

Hello, this is my first post here. Been looking at the boards forever. I've been experiencing extreme withdrawal symptoms the past few days. I drink most days, not everyday, but 4 or 5 days of the week. Once I start, i usually cant stop til I pass out. Most times close to a fifth of vodka a night. I have been a heavy drinker since I was about 20/21. Now am 24.

I've called out of work for 3 days, because the symptoms just seem unbearable. I didn't want to go to work, because I'm usually shaking too badly with muscle spasams. Since I'm required to have a doctor's note for work, my mom wants to take me in a little bit. I'm unsure if she's aware that I'm suffering from withdrawal or just plain sick.

My question is, is there a reason to be nervous going to see the doctor? Is he going to recommend me somewhere for rehab after seeing how I'm reacting? Is this a normal thing for a doctor to see?

I have tremors, muscle spasams, anxiety, increased heart rate, and my stomach is making really loud noises. Also have barely an appetite, and insomnia, so I know that can't healthy.

Thanks for any and all support

I have a question--I've used oxycodone for about 2 years in pretty high doses (up to 200-300mg day). I've always had problems with my ears since I was a child, but it has been more problems hearing. The past few months, when I using the heaviest, I noticed that I am now extremely sensitive to loud noises like semi trucks and motorcycles. Has anyone else had anything like this? Any other effects you've noticed?
