It’s disturbing borderline frightening. You also can’t sleep & can’t eat. You’re hot! Not in control of your thoughts & sometimes even see things.. It became not worth to even drink anymore ( as a binge drinker after going on a 2-3 day bender .. I would ALWAYS get hit with this sickness which took me out for 1-2 day) couple hours of fun will never be worth being dogsht sick for 3 days.
Ben 2 gün yaşadım, silahlı 50 kişiden kurtulmaya çalışıyordum
Borderline frightening tells me you’ve never had DTs
@@barrylongstaff2816 maybe not but whatever it was sht was scary I even remember seeing people I never seen or met before when closing my eyes… that’s frightening
@@atlntcostv7293 terrifying my friend. I completely empathise. My point was you were under playing it. It’s not border line frightening, it’s pure hell. Good luck to you !
The worst part is that you can commit murder or suicide under those situations. I hope you are ok today, blessings!
Scariest thing and realest thing I've ever been through. Man. I didn't think drinking every day for a few years would make me start hallucinating. It was fucking wild.
What happened to you ? Because right now i am having a severe panic attack and anixery
One of the most horrific things I've ever experienced as well. Hope you're ok.
@@visheshbanveer5117 I'm speaking for myself here, but seek medical attention if you can. Panic attacks, sweating, shakes, tachycardia, audio and visual hallucinations on my end. I would shake so hard it would wake me up every time I tried to sleep for a week. Terrible night terrors when I did get sleep. The later on in my process, I would freak myself out; I knew ab DTs and was afraid it would continue to get worse. I checked myself into the hospital a few times before going to a proper detox facility.
@@visheshbanveer5117 Try to to psych your self out. Stay calm, try and get tons of vitamins (magnesium, C, and B), if you can't access medical treatment right away, do your best to taper on drinking until you make a decision.
You need immediately get hospitalized under those circumstances. I hope you are ok today.
Went through DT in the hospital… heart rate got to 204 bpm at one point… I felt things crawling on me and my bed, hearing voices that the hospital was was trying to kill me and seeing a bunch of figures and demon like things, I ended up breaking the window out of the hospital room with a chair trying to escape from being killed “so I thought” from the hospital staff, climbed onto the awning over the emergency entrance and jumped off breaking my back in 3 places, my ankle and sliced 4 tendons on my right hand from breaking the window out. I blacked after the fire department showed up and woke up tied down to the hospital bed. It was the absolute craziest thing that’s happened to me and all felt so real during that time.
Bro. I’ve been there
Damn... that's crazy ! Alcohol is the worst drug legally out there.
Lol, i had something like that too, But a male nurse i felt was my friend got me through it, he was the only person in the universe i trusted right then, i wouldnt let anyone else come near me
Meth i call that
Fucking hell rock and roll man 😂
I had this and alcoholic hallucinosis, very scary and uncertain times. Was in the psychiatric hospital thinking I was schizophrenic. Over 4 weeks sober and am never going back.
Congrats!
Blessing to you, keep strong.
We're you able to stay sober?
I had delirium tremens… very scary I was hallucinated animals jumping on my bed in the hospital
I saw vermin. I had seizures .
@@LucasXavierReis Its scary stuff
My father in law almost didn't make it back to reality. He was seeing a black kitten in his hospital room. He kept bringing his hand to his mouth, like in a drinking way. Over & over. After going through that he never made it completely back. He had to go into assisted living. He was the nicest man. Never ever a mean drinker.
Be careful, everyone; alcohol is so brutal in trying to stop.
@@emmaneilson9965 dang that’s sad.
@tyle_2860 I know:/ It's so preventable, though. Going to detox is vital or getting the right meds to come off. Thanks for the comment.
Hope you're well
I had benzo induced psychosis and suffered delirium tremens alone in my apartment. The psychosis was so bad that I quit taking a high dose of prescribed xanax and adderall cold turkey because I was convinced that people were trying to kll me. I wouldn't go to a detox facility because my convictions were so real. It's been 26 months and I'm still healing. I was taken to the hospital for seizures and had to be on seizure meds for several months. I had dissociative fugue and amnesia, derealization and depersonalization episodes for the first year. I don't know how or why I survived but not a day goes by where I don't thank God. This has been the absolute scariest few years of my life. I was prescribed 4 mg of xanax and 60 mg of adderall by an unethical physician at the beginning of the pandemic. I had never been prescribed either one of those medications in my life before that. So much of my life during that time feels like a dream and I may never get all my memory back. I don't wish this hell on anyone.
Dude, this exact same situation happened to me, almost to a T. Prescribed the same medications and was on them for a year before I had to stop because I was ruining my own life on them.
@@ryanhellmann1 Congrats for quitting. I have an enormous amount of compassion and respect for everyone who was able to kick that demon drug. I hope you're feeling better.
Adderall itself is one hell of a drug. I swear anyone can write a book that has good points but means nothing. All the while people are falling asleep and drooling in class on Xanax.
The thing is that xanax and Adderall dont mix well with alcohol in the end, so dont try it.
@@EPICSKATECREW you're right, it's like mixing cocaine and heroin. It should be illegal to prescribe both of them.
How are you doing now?
I had 8 episodes of DT's the first 2 being genuinely terrifying, because I didn't know what was happening to me. What was real, what wasn't, and whether or not I was going insane.
Including both visuals and auditory hallucinations, that I couldn't even begin to explain on here.
Absolutely mental prolonged break from reality.
I started having seizures and hallucinations pretty quickly after my last drink. I remember dumping my drinks into the toilet thinking "This is the last time I let this stuff ruin me" only to be met with the full wrath of something worse than I'd ever experienced and hopefully will ever experience.
Just in the process of trying to stay drunk I had some pretty moderate delirium. One of the doctors that was seeing me for my alcoholism (to see what they could do about it) suddenly looked like this horrible goblin creature to me and I took off out of the waiting room. They admitted me to the ER not long after that, but were unable to hold me because I wasn't through drinking yet.
If you don't mind me asking, how often, and or what did you drink?
@@motez710 I was drinking close to 42oz of alcohol a day to stay drunk. Four lokos (Non-caffeinated) because I didn't live close enough to a liqour store and was fortunate I didn't own a car at the time.
Hahahaha goblins and hobits
I was drinking 20pints plus a day when I stopped I had dt it’s the scariest thing I’ve had happen to me. Had all sorts everything moving in my room seeing little fairy’s playing tricks on me, went outside and thought there was 30 bikers parked up watching me loads of stuff nearly got sectioned now I’m 5 months sober.
@@Protogorius
Laugh all you want, not many make it out alive
This shit is scary. Any arbitrary noise around my room like the fan running or the fridge running would turn into some auditory hallucination. Every time I closed my eyes, I would see strangers having conversations that I had no idea about. I thought I was going mad. I didn’t end op going to the ER (I know I’m dumb) but it took 4 days for it to end. Interestingly it only happened during the night… just had an extremely cloudy head and confusion in the day
Dizziness????
Also very common - seeing people you don’t know nor never seen before when you close you’re eyes … very disturbing
@@Protogoriusyep
I was fuqin driving from San Francisco to Reno and back towards Sacramento in Major and DTs. The most terrifying experience ever. Eventually started walking in traffic against traffic because I was the death of the human race because Obama was actually an organic supercomputer that I was telepathically connected to but because of my alcoholism and toxins from a stage 3 liver failure, I killed humanity and was doomed to walk due south until I died. Police were called and they thought I was tweaking on meth and going through psychosis due to that. Wound up in Kaiser Permanente ICU for 15 days only remember 3 of them. They couldn't get rid of my low grade fever because initially they misdiagnosed me even though I told them I was an alcoholic who had abruptly stopped drinking to return to a job I had taken a hiatus from after my wife's death from alcoholic hepatitis. It took 7 years of a 2 gallons of vodka a day habit, finally ICU 7 times in 3 months for me to eventually get help and I've been clean and sober for two years now from everything except for cigarettes. How I don't have wet brain is seriously beyond me.
Alcoholism is a terrible thing to go through.
Obama was actually an organic supercomputer. Wild man 😂
What program helped you to get sober?
Incredible recovery! I’m very proud of you!
This is scaring me. I had my last drink at 11 this morning. About 6 hours after i was sweating, shaking and throwing up.
How are you holding up now? Do you still drink or did you quit?
It’s scary, but remember as long as you drink it will NOT happen. The thing is you must decrease GRADUALLY! Battling the cravings or whatever is NOTHING compared to DT. Best of all, seek professional help!
Devil talked with me... While i am living delirium. 5 year passed. Still i am sober.
Was a daily cannabis user for almost 20 years, i quit because of CHS, i started drinking daily, first lightly, then after drinking everyday for 3 weeks(last few days i drank heavy) i suddenly stopped, after 26 hours sober i woke up in middle of night with my heart beating like crazy, i was extremely disoriented, dilated pupils, i couldnt even walk because of dizziness, i was about to call 911 becuase i thought i was having a heart attack, i managed to find some vodka, i drank half a shot, almost instantly i felt better, never in my life i thought alcohol could do this to my body, when i was a cannabis user i rarely drank, maybe a few beers a week,... what i cant wrap my mind around is how is alcohol legal? this stuff is like heroin, can kill you, never drinking like that again, f#@k that
Librium doesn't do anything. Valium, now that's the ticket!
Beware, you may trade one addiction for another. You need to follow your doctors directions.
Funny, Valium actually caused me to hallucinate a whole night's events. It was so effing crazy when I was talking to my friend about everything that happened the night before and he just looked at me and said that none of those things happened. I basically hallucinated and had memories of things that never happened. It scared the absolute shit out of me. How our minds are so suseptible to becoming so unhinged from reality. I never took that shit again and never will!

I went on a 4 day bender this past weekend, I never drink liquor before but I was drinking damn near everything. Hitting the booze very hard, I was partying with old friends on cape cod. It was all fun and games until I woke up shaking violently, I tried to sleep it off, my friend reminded me that we had to drive her to the airport. I was in no place to drive as my anxiety was overbearing.
I made it halfway to the airport and out of no where it felt like my eyes were about to pop out of my head. Instant panic, I was shaking violently even worse, I started to have severe tunnel vision, screaming for help, I thought I was going to die, I finally found an exit and pulled off on the side of the road, got out of the car and started to lose control of my motor function, I was nauseous, I called 911and the ambulance took me away. I was terrified, not making much sense, my throat was dry and I could not stop shaking.
They gave me liquid ativan and an IV and I was better after about 4 hours..
I felt like I did not know where I was and I was. What a terrifying experience. I am starting my complete sobriety now. I never want to experience this every again.
That sounds horrible! I always really hated trying to drive when I was hungover with all that anxiety. I truly wish you well in not drinking anymore. It's not worth it. You'll never wake up and regret not being hungover!.
I doubt that’s actual DT. DTs happen after years of heavy drinking, not a 4 day binge lmao
I had it all thank god for librium
I just want went through a very heavy DT. This is not something u would want to fight alone. Expecially after stopping cold turkey. This shit is life threatning and not something to be taken lightly.
My canadian doctor today told me "we used to prescribe benzos to help during the withdrawal period but we no longer do that due to the chances of addiction and dependancy transfering from alcohol to benzos"
I user ativan when i drink .
That’s so wrong. It could be a life saver to get benzos for coming off alc..
Tell your doctor that is the only option. If your doctor allows you to drink and kill yourself, they might as well get sued.
@@LaRoseDetails benzos are even worse than alcohol
I got benzos to get off of alcohol. Now alcohol free, but dependent on benzos lol.. :c
Brutal !! I tried to escape from the hospital also. As I thought everyone was trying to kill me. I saw and heard the most fucked us things ever ! Like you say it all felt so real. I wrestled with 4 security guards and tried to escape. Eventually I was sedated with multiple jabs and woke up the next day. In a different ward. Was a brutal 4 -5 days of withdrawl. From people hiding in my house behind the walls. Been tracked through my watch. Hearing sirens outside my window, my couch vibrating. Seen demonic like figures it was insane ! Never been so well scared in my life. At times would feel like it would ease off then boom was back gradually getting more tense by the hours. After all the benders I have been on over the years it was bound to happen at some point. And sure it did !
Thank you for sharing this. I'm watching a loved one go through it and they are being restrained at the hospital. Seeing your story and many others on here makes me hopeful that this is just the getting worse before the getting better.
Thank you for sharing your story. Especially the last bit, "after all the benders i have been on...." because i am a chronic relapser who goes on benders......... and i never want to drink again. the worst i ever have had was auditory hallucinations (mostly music, only one time did i hear garbling voices) and peripheral hallucinations, mostly just spots, thats supposed to be how it starts though. but there was one time i saw a red-outlined face shape of a man and another it was like some kind of bald man's head thing at the top of the door frame. its terrifying, because i feel like it starts out minor and as time goes on gets more intense but im really not sure. im incredibly lucky that it never got any worse than it did. i never want to touch that shit ever again.
Did you get that thing where you would hear someone laugh then they would turn their head to stare at you. It started happening to me quite a bit but I can tells when its about to start because I get this weird buzzing in my head.
I would say, towards the end there with that question, give him alprazolam, as lorazepam takes longer to work, so initially small dose (like .25mg) of xanax, then 10-20 min later, once the effects start to take place, check Blood Pressure, if high give him the clonidine, as it tends to work pretty fast. And then, if additional DT related benzos are needed, when appropriate, give the Lorazepam. I'm not a doctor, I just play one on TV.
Thank you for your time !! Great video
My brother is still an alcoholic and he has been tormenting me since I can remember. I do not have any good memories of him. He is 7 yrs older than me. I heard he went through something like this but went back to alcohol. He deserves the hell he made for himself. I vouched for him to go to AA but my dysfunctional family keeps him away from that because it would mean going to AA is admitting to the family dysfunction. He turns 50 this year, lost the house my mother bought him and his ex girlfriend, and now lives with our codependent sister who is also being abused (financially, each penny she makes goes straight to the husband’s bank account), and keeps him ON alcohol. Again, they don’t want to get out of the hell they created for themselves and so let them be.
Edit: he’s been an alcoholic since I can remember, from early teens until now
He will die for sure if he stopped
At what point do you just mind your own business 😂 you sound like a dry drunk, if he would just die already would that make you feel better geesh
AA is horrible. Honestly take him to proper psych.
In my research on this I haven't heard much about the closed eye visuals I experienced. Straight-up images and movies that probably don't exist...anyone ?
Sometimes it was colors and forms, and other times Shit ton of strangers faces i dont even remember seeing anywhere. As soon as i closed my eyes saw the faces, transforming, changing personlities, close talking to my face, fkn scarry. 3 years sober now. ❤
Is there any way to tell beforehand wether you will experience DT's? Or is it "pot luck"? Some do, some dont, some sometimes, others never, kind of thing?
The way he sighs makes shit more serious
Lmao
Valium helped me, luckily didn't get addicted to that!
Fuck this is very real...i cant count how many times i been through the shit show. I drank liquor heavily. So the come down was always hard. I wouldn't wish that on anyone but it was my own fault. I hope everyone stays safe and knows their limits. I don't drink liquor anymore atleast and i been so much better
Reminded me of the movie Jacobs ladder.
And i thought my withdrawals from opiates were hell, alcohol is way way worse
I started my journey of quitting last April. Although I failed it wouldn’t be another month till I took it serious. Now I’m not sure if I was having DTs because this happened 3 times. I felt funny when it started. My body just felt like dead weight and my head was spinning. While I was at work I collapsed in the nurses office and my body stiffened up from head to toe. My arms drew into my chest and I could not move them away from my chest at all. It was also hard to breathe. I’m wondering if anyone else had this happen to them?
Sounds like a seizure.
How are you holding up so far? And how long have you been an alcoholic? I've been wanting to detox myself and I'm already having bad-ish anxiety just from my 1st day of quitting.
@@JuanJimenez. I’m doing great. I can fall asleep naturally without alcohol now. I drank for 14 years. The anxiety is part of quitting. Trust me it was hard as hell to fall asleep there for about 3 months. I constantly kept thinking I had heart problems. So instead of lounging around I found stuff to do around the house to keep me busy. There was a tree downed in our backyard so I cut it up and chopped up the wood and burned it. I did that for 2 months working my ass off 10 or more hours a day. It worked. If you’ve been an alcoholic for awhile I don’t suggest quitting cold turkey though because you can die from the withdrawals. Of course this depends on how long you’ve been drinking and how much you drank in a regular basis. Luckily I wasn’t the type to drink from sun up to sun down but I drank every night. Usually it was a 6 pack a night. Sometimes just 4.
Here's a question. I've been a serious alcoholic for over 20 years, and I've never experienced DT's. Can it still happen even if I've never experienced them. I heard that some people are just naturally prone to them.
Yes, this is not effecting everyone. People with anxiety and depression are morr effected I would say.
It’s not a question of if it will happen, but whether you’ll survive it or not. It definitely WILL happen. So for your own safety, do NOT stop cold turkey, but decrease gradually with professional help.
I have only experienced minor DT's . Anxiety alone is almost enough to kill yourself. Insomnia lasts for days, usually with these hot flashes at night. Food is impossible to keep down in my experience.
Yeah, the major symptoms are exactly what I get when i binge for 3-4 days.
Same, i never drank daily until i quit my 20 year daily cannabis habit, shit i never knew alcohol could make you so sick
I had a seizure after the third day
What if you are prescribed clonopin 7 years and drink and doctor takes benzos away as well
I would call psychiatrists until I found one that would put me on a taper. Hope you didn't have to go cold turkey.
I recently went through detox; and believe you me, it was no walk in the park.
Thank Jesus I was in a hospital where I was receiving detox medicine, but it was still pretty bad. I remember a couple nights while trying to relax and go back to sleep after waking up around 4, I started hearing random voices in my head. Not anything I could make out very clearly. It was just a bunch of random nothingness. But, at one point, a voice said, "I have some wine". I jumped up and said, "Well, I'm not going back to sleep now".
A couple of times during the day, I literally thought I was dreaming and that the staff was hiding the vodka from me. I ran into the lounge area and said they were hiding it in the water containers. Which is weird, because the water containers were right there for anyone to drink. So that wouldn't be "hiding" it. But whatever. So, I drank about 5 cups of water in less than 2 minutes and then said they were lying to me and had it hidden somewhere else!
At one point I was on my bed in my room squeezing a pillow and screaming into it while feeling like something inside of me was trying to come out and that had me violently shaking and cringing. All the while, still feeling like I was in a dream.
Then, at one point, I was in a chair and just froze. I literally could not move for about 10 minutes (I assume it was. But then, my perception of time was messed up). A couple people came up and asked if I was okay and I couldn't even respond. When I was able to actually slowly move my head and look at them, it was almost like I was looking through them, if that makes sense. I tried to move my mouth a little but I couldn't speak. A nurse came over and tried to talk to me and the same thing happened. She even nudged me on the shoulder to see if I would get up, but I couldn't. So, she distanced herself to give me some space. During all of this, I could hear and see my surroundings, but it was like I was totally detached from everything. Then, one of the phones rang next to me and I literally jumped.
By the way, they gave me Tranxene.
Scariest Fucken thing in my life relapsed hard and I’ve been going through DT for 5 days now
Keep fighting.

What
@@MultiSciGeek It's called Delirium Tremens - not for people anyway
i dont feel that this video is entirely accurate to be honest, but, DT's nonetheless are no joke. I have thankfully not had them as serious as others, mostly just hearing music that wasn't playing. that alone is scary enough though because you don't really know what, if anything, is coming next..... get to the ER.
