(PS - I'm not sure either panic attacks or vomiting are alcohol withdrawal symptom(?).
Panic attacks are classic benzodiazepine and alcohol withdrawal symptoms, nausea is pretty common during a panic attack.
Being in withdrawal from benzodiazepines or alcohol can range from being mildly unpleasant to life threatening depending on how high the dose someone was on.
In fact benzodiazepines are often prescribed to treat alcohol withdrawal symptoms.
OP needs professional help to manage this substance abuse problem for their own safety.0 -
I was about to say what the above poster said about benzos being used to manage alcohol withdrawal.
Coming off both at once (assuming you are physically dependent) is very dangerous.
Just to add , if you've gone a week without alcohol it's out of your system and you shouldn't have any physical withdrawal symptoms.
A loy of what you're describing could be down to benzo withdrawals - or just the effects of life unmedicated
You really need to see your GP , immediately.
Were the benzos prescribed or 'acquired' ?0 -

The clinicians I knew told me that after drinking stopped (absent of physical withdrawal symptoms, if there were any) the next step was to break the psychological habit. A week is a good step towards this.
Yes - OP needs to see their GP for support.0
