SELF-POISONING AND ALCOHOL WITHDRAWAL

Anecdotal evidence show that a significant number of deliberate self-poisoning victims are also alcohol dependent (ie continued alcohol drink, despite problems with health, and, family, or job responsibilities)

Recognition and prompt treatment of alcohol withdrawal syndrome that could complicate poisoning is therefore critical in a successful detox.

Symptoms of alcohol withdrawal often appear a day after cessation and may include profuse sweating, confusion, shaking, insomnia, agitation, disorientation, visual and auditory hallucinations, rapid heart rate and psychosis.
