Alcohol Withdrawal Seizures

Alcohol withdrawal seizures

are usually grand mal

seizures. Your eyes will roll

back in your head, your body

will begin to shake violently

and you will lose

consciousness.

The attack will usually last a minute or two and may leave you groggy for 6 to 8 hours. They arequite frightening to watch but, aren't usually dangerous as long as the person can breathe and doesn't hurt themselves while they arethrashing around on the floor. The convulsions usually occur with 12 to 48 hours after a person has stopped drinking. About 1/3 of the people who exhibit this go on to develop the DTs. This is considered rebound activity because alcohol has an anticonvulsant effect which makes the seizure threshold higher. When it is removed the threshold decreases, and seizures become more likely, until the body has regained equilibrium.
