My brother is suffering from moderate
alcohol withdrawal. He has refused to be
admitted to the hospital for detox, so I
and my elderly mother are trying to help
him through it at home. Symptoms are
shaking, severe anxiety, nausea and
vomiting. The doctor has prescribed
ativan and another drug (related to
valium) to help him through it, but it's
having limited effect. Can anyone advise
us on the best way to help and support
him? We're pretty scared here.
