Info
Symptoms
of acute alcohol withdrawal tend to occur 2– 48h after the last alcoholic drink
and usually subside 5– 7d after the last drink. A reducing dose of chlordiazepoxide acts as a surrogate CNS depressant (which is the eect alcohol has
upon the CNS) and it is uncommon for physical symptoms of withdrawal to
present if patients are treated with this sort of regimen; always consider vitamin
supplementation in these patients (E p. 98); consult local guidelines.
