Hi,

I've been drinking about 2 liters of beer(~4.5%) per day for 3 years. Only on evenings.

I've finally decided to stop, I saw my doc and he said the amount I drink shouldn't cause too much withdrawal symptoms...  He still prescribed me B vitamin and Temesta 1mg (Lorazepam) telling me to take 1mg before bed and otherwise, take half a pill during the day if I feel symptoms.

It's been 48hours since my last drink, no problems so far. I took 0,5mg today at 10am as I way feeling a bit nervous but no real symptoms.... 

I'm starting a new job thuesday morning, and at this point, it will be 80hours after last drink.

Do you think I could still experience withdrawal symptoms at this point considering my previous alcohol consumption and my treatment ?

Thanks for your help !

Greg
