(Disclaimer - I'm not a medical professional, just someone who's been
"there")

Try this: Take a Gravol in the morning when you get up and a B-complex
stress vitamin with a little bit of fruit or toast, whatever you can
stomach. Before bedtime take another Gravol with a Niacin tablet
(preferably not more than 100-200 mg to start). Your skin might flush
red and burn a little from the niacin but trust me on this one, you will
fall asleep a lot better and feel calmer. And try and ease yourself off
the Librium. I've found that benzodiazapenes can add to the anxiety of
alcohol withdrawal. The retching brings back a lot of memories. Good
luck and take it one day at a time.

during the withdrawal stage, i recommend that he mix regular with decaf
if coffee must be drunk.
why add to the physical crap?

someone recommended sweets in here, and i totally agree!
