That is an interesting line to draw. Are "MENTAL withdrawal symptoms" not neurological in nature? Are "hallucinations or the shakes or seizures" not based in neurology?
- TylerE 3y agoThe DTs from alcohol withdrawal can outright kill you. That’s the line I draw. Similar for other meds that have very unpleasant effects if you don’t taper off over weeks or even months.
- adolph 3y agoStill neurological in nature. Delirium tremens is a severe form of alcohol withdrawal. It involves sudden and severe mental or nervous system changes. Delirium tremens may also be caused by head injury, infection, or illness in people with a history of heavy alcohol use. https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000766.htm https://medlineplus.gov/ency/article/000766.htm
