Ativan, Valium, Librium and Serax.
Lorazepam taper, or phenobarbital loading dose, always folate, thiamine, MV
Ativan, Versed, Phenobarbital, and Precedex (I work in ICU). Haldol, zyprexa, and Benadryl if pt is more on behavioral and needs something to “keep him down.”
I am mostly off label here so take it as you will .....
First things is symptom control. I work outpatients and many of them 'NEED" to be home and even work.
As soon as their blood alcohol is 0% I start 50 mg naltrexone daily. (AS I said off label)
if they are sitting in front of you starting to exhibit w/d symptoms from ETOH give then a 50mg naltrexone po immediately. By the time you have finished your assessments they look like they have had 20 mf valium. They are chilled out and not displaying w/d HTN, or anxiety.
I am bit old school and use librium (chlordiazepoxide) or phenobarbital to manage anxiety.
some days depending on what the patients goal is, and no opiates confounding, I will start Naltrexone ER injection the first day. Really shortens the symptomatic detox time ---though since inpaetn locations make considerable more money for a w/d management day vs residential the bosses tend to be displeased losing $2,000 - 3,000 each day for the shortened w/d duration.
look up cyproheptadine for serotonin symptoms
