Serious Detox Symptoms
As your body goes through the process of withdrawing from a harmful substance, there's a period of adjustment the body goes through. Initially, your detox symptoms will seem as insignificant as the sniffles, restlessness and frequent yawning. The longer you go without the drugs or alcohol, and the longer you try to get through the withdrawals on your own, the more serious the symptoms become.
At its worst, you might find yourself experiencing muscle cramps and abdominal pains. Eventually, you could face problems such as blurred vision, high anxiety, paranoia, confusion and a weakening of the muscles. The most dangerous stage of withdrawal includes the DTs or tremors, seizures, hallucinations, depression, a tendency towards aggression or violence and even thoughts of suicide. If you have gotten to this point without seeking assistance, your life is in jeopardy.
