Dizziness problems related to alchohol abuse
by Jacker, Jun 15, 2007 12:00AM
I've been a heavy beer drinker for years. By the end, I was drinking 7-12 beers daily. Over the course of the last spring, I had symptoms such as a rapid heartbeat, agitation, and finally dizziness. I finally stopped drinking and I'm feeling better every day, but after over 2 weeks of sobriety, the dizziness persists. I don't think I can blame detox, because it started while I was still drinking. Do you think the dizziness is a holdover from the years of alchohol, and will it likely disappear with time?
NOTE: the dizziness has decreased somewhat over the last two weeks, but I'm still surprised that it has persisted this long. I am an avid runner and cyclist, so I tend to notice balance problems.

Your story is exactly like mine except you can put roxicodone in place of beer. I did the same thing. I was taking the same amount of Roxi that I had always took, and one day BAM here came the rapid heartbeat, dizziness, etc. I reduced the amount of Roxi I was on dramatically four months ago. I didn't totally stop but I did get back down to what I was supposed to be taking. Like you all problems have subsided but the dizziness. I see that this is an old post. If you found help please write me.
