  • We're living in a bit of a dystopian reality at the moment so given the fact that everyone is in lockdown/self-isolating/quarantined, I've done anothe reaction video. On this video I'm watching one of my favourite episodes of It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia where the gang gets QUARANTINED!

    As a 10 month sober recovering alcoholic, I found it really refreshing how on point the information about alcohol dependence and alcohol withdrawal was. Over the years I've suffered 6 grand mal seizures from unplanned alcohol withdrawal, and getting proper treatment in UK hospitals can be incredibly difficult. But it's nice to know that awareness and knowledge of these conditions and their appropriate treatment methods is increasing. Thanks for the great video!

    This was great I learned a bunch of new things about alcohol withdrawal and I worked in a drug and alcohol rehabilitation clinic as a sober up unit worker where it was an alternative to cells for public intoxication and our main job was to look for signs of alcohol withdrawal and write down what's happened every 15 minutes, we would give them food, drinks and a bed, conversation if they needed it and look for signs of them wanting to seek help because most of the time it was people who had addiction to alcohol. People would often present with 0.35 blood alcohol volume and at one point 0.4 which we immediately called an ambulance to take them to the hospital, it was very rewarding work and a few people I worked with managed to reorganise parts of their lives!

    Interesting how you brought up entering alcohol withdrawal while in the hospital being treated for something else. My Uncle was in the hospital for weeks and had severe alcohol withdrawals that soon became a bigger concern for the Doctors treating him. But eventually the Withdrawal symptoms actually ended, because he was there so long. The doctors encouraged him to stop drinking since he had already made it through the difficult part. But of course the first thing he did after leaving the hospital was go straight to the bar.

    • @NoelleMar
      @NoelleMar Рік тому

      Did they treat the alcohol withdrawal symptoms or did they just end? Either way, makes sense your uncle relapsed considering “encouragement” isn’t necessarily effective when it comes to replacing a physical dependency. At least for me. And physically, it just isn’t. Obviously encouragement can help, if done right heh. But it’s not nearly enough IMO. Especially if he was in the hospital so long for other problems. Seems like it would be a really unpleasant situation even if necessary.

I got arrested on day six for wandering into someone's home looking for a magic spider I was tasked with finding. No one in the court room knew anything about Delirium Tremendous and they convicted me of burglary and sentenced me and I had to do a year in jail. And I was lucky that's all that happened.

    As someone who genuinely has an alcohol dependency, this was fascinating! I've quit a few times before and can confirm that with long term alcohol dependency you really can get flu like symptoms.
    For anyone curious, I've cut down to a third of what I was drinking and spend a week a month alcohol free. It's slow progress, but with twenty years of drinking, it isn't advisable to just stop.

    Now I’m not a doctor by any means, but at 11:10, you mentioned that seizures make you unconscious, which is not always the case. When I was 12, I was suffering from focal seizures, which means I was totally conscious for each one. This is because the effected area barely touched my frontal lobe, but mostly affected the parietal and temporal lobes. The only way my frontal lobe was affected by a change in my speech patterns. I didn’t have a stutter before my epilepsy, but I developed one afterwards.

    As a certified and registered peer recovery specialist in the US, I was sorry to hear that the sud treatment and mental health treatment beds are mostly private in the Uk. Does this mean that they are expensive, or can someone with little financial resources there still get treatment?
    Also, being in this field means that I do have my own opinion of those benzos that you were talking about-but I think that I am coming from a different point of view. I understand their value in treating alcohol withdrawal, I just also feel like there are so many times when the rx takes the place of learning some good and healthy coping skills. I may get railed for this comment, but I have seen so many people who have taken long term prescriptions and it is even harder to stop at that point. I know that I have a resentment against my former provider for giving me those for so long since coming off of them meant that I was wholly unprepared for any emotional turmoil.
    Being a peer means that I too am in recovery (just for anyone who doesn't know that term), and love watching these episodes of It's Always Sunny (and really almost everything else on your channel which is why I have subscribed).

    Someone I worked with who was a bad alcoholic that I knew well (and had the entire medical history of, including his reaction to valium), would always do a random month of sobriety to "prove" he wasn't an alcoholic. He was so miserable to everyone, he would shake, he would feel awful, ect, and then hypothetically, allegedly, in a video game a "friend i totally don't know who happened to have a low dose of valium" would end up giving him one pill a day when things got bad, only when supervised, so he wouldn't end up dying. He never understood how dangerous what he was doing was.... and he never took a day off or had a doctor watch him. He drank so much that the nearby bar ordered an extra keg of his favorite beer every month, probably more often. I just know he had to tell them when his sober month was so they could adjust their order. Which is insane. The thing the thought would help him with his withdrawal was the smoothies his gf pushed on him. And as a chef he was in intense heat and standing all day.

    Sorry if im too late and you've already done it but Trailer Park Boys' characters Julian and Lahey have some interesting alcohol dependencies that would be cool to see a therapists take on, the only problem is they take course over the entire series lol but its a funny show otherwise, also Ricky is dependent on marijuana and Bubbles is dependent on cats, that entire show might be therapy gold now that I think about it.

    Hey Elliot, one thing about the "psychosis" regarding alcohol withdrawal on day 3-4. I know you have more medical experience than me so I'm not claiming this as fact, but it makes more sense to me that the symptoms of psychosis are more from withdrawal symptoms AND not sleeping for days.
    Some of the symptoms you mentioned mimic that of simply not sleeping for days, such as when amphetamine abusers go on benders and develop some symptoms you mentioned because of their bender.

    L-theanine works wonders for alcohol withdrawal. One or two caps during the day, depending on anxiety levels, one less shot of alcohol per day in the evening taken one hour later each day, documented. I used this method and barely felt any discomfort, after before having intense nightmares, auditory hallucinations, and one seizure. This is not medical advice, please do your own research

    You said it was ridiculous that people are afraid of benzos. But aren't benzos very dangerous in the long term if not carefully monitored by a medical professional? I myself had a bad experience with benzo withdrawal even though my treatment WAS monitored. It was for GAD and the benzos were never meant to be long term.

  • @zeyface6366
    @zeyface6366 3 роки тому +1

    I wouldn't call it ridiculous to be afraid of benzos, they're probably more addicting than alcohol in a non medical setting and the addiction usually hits harder and faster.
    Edit: I've seen your other replies now and yes you did mean in a medical setting as an immediate treatment for withdrawal. Good thing because I thought it was insane of you to say something like that

    Uh it's ridiculous to be scared of Benzos? When I was in rehab the benzo addicts outnumbered the alcoholics and they had to be in treatment for a month before they could start being interacting with groups or feeling somewhat normal, as opposed to heroin and alcoholics who were expected to be out and about within 3 days of treatment going to groups and stuff. Benzos can be just as deadly to withdrawal from as alcohol it just takes a lot longer

    • @DoctorElliottCarthy
      @DoctorElliottCarthy  3 роки тому +1

      I was talking about doctors treating alcohol withdrawal where benzo's are lifesaving and undertreating the withdrawal can be life threatening. You're right that long term use is very addictive and the subsequent withdrawal from benzo's is arguably just as life threatening as alcohol withdrawal can be. It's all about context.

    I've never watched this show, it's almost older than I am, but it seems like I should check it out. I'm confused about alcohol withdrawal tho': I drink a lot, especially in proportion to my size, but occasionally I go on a diet or a fast to get down to slightly underweight when I book something, and those entail quitting any alcoholic beverages. I never experienced any symptoms related to that.

    I know this is an older video of yours, Elliott, but I was wondering something. I'm a poly drug addict and my family on my mom's side has plenty of alcoholics. Now alcohol is pretty much the one common drug I'm fine with never consuming but I'm curious if addictions from a drug are still heritable for all drugs or just that specific one (in this example, alcohol).

    • @Rose-jz6sx
      @Rose-jz6sx 2 роки тому

      I'm not an expert, but to the best of my understanding the inheritable bit is the trauma which leads people to use alcohol and drugs, along with a tendency towards addiction in general, so like you might come from a family of addicts and not drink or do drugs but be unable to quit smoking, or have a shopping problem or food addiction etc.

    benzos work wonders for opioid withdrawal also. but benzo withdrawal isnt fun either. it can b deadly as well. but a dr said alcohol was worse. believe it or not pot withdrawal is quite bad considering most dont know u can be physically addicted to it. its closer to mind like withdrawals like benzos more than like pain killers.

    can I pick your brain on why you think benzos are not dangerous? I'm in Canada and I've been on clonazepam for 3 months and if I go a couple of days without it I get the same withdrawal as described with alcohol withdrawals. while I think they are safer than alcohol short term, long term I think benzos can be worse (withdrawal lasting for months as opposed to alcohol withdrawal lasting 2 weeks)

    • @DoctorElliottCarthy
      @DoctorElliottCarthy  3 роки тому +1

      Hi. Benzo's can be dangerous. Not saying there not dangerous if used incorrectly. They can be life saving in alcohol withdrawal though which is the point I was making. Doctors tend to undertreat alcohol withdrawal by not giving enough benzo's at the start before slowly weaning off of them. Of course, they're addictive, so if used incorrectly they can be really problematic for people. It's all about context

I've heard the UK are kind of afraid of benzodiazepines or at least they don't really prescribe them (a subreddit called benzo recovery share a lot of stories in the UK) They won't even taper patients off benzos. Is there any reason for it? or is it just stigmatized in the UK as a recreational type of drug?
