XVI. Management: Agents used in Alcohol Withdrawal

  1. Also see Alcohol Detoxification in Ambulatory Setting
  2. Benzodiazepines
    1. See dosing potocols below
    2. Early aggressive Benzodiazepine loading offers best Alcohol Withdrawal control
    3. Benzodiazepines are the primary agent in moderate to severe Alcohol Withdrawal
      1. Reduces Alcohol Withdrawal Seizure risk
      2. Reduces Delirium Tremens risk
    4. Precautions
      1. Monitor for over-sedation and respiratory depression (esp. concomitant liver disease)
    5. Agent Selection
      1. Agents with long half-life are preferred for most patients (lower rebound risk)
        1. Valium
        2. Librium
          1. Librium has less stimulation of reward system (lower abuse potential)
      2. Seizure history
        1. Valium
      3. Liver disease or elderly patient (use agents with less hepatic metabolism)
        1. Ativan
        2. Serax
  3. Benzodiazepine Alternatives (in patients in whom Benzodiazepines are considered too risky, commonly used in Europe)
    1. Precautions
      1. Carbamazepine, Gabapentin and Valproic Acid have not been shown to prevent Alcohol Withdrawal Seizure
      2. Carbamazepine, Gabapentin and Valproic Acid increase GABA (via Sodium channel blockade)
      3. Adverse risks include Thrombocytopenia and other Bone Marrow suppression, Pancreatitis
    2. Carbamazepine
      1. Effective in mild to moderate withdrawal
      2. Protocol 1: Tapered
        1. Tapered 200 mg four times daily tapered over 5 days
        2. Start at Carbamazepine (Tegretol) 800 mg on day 1
        3. Finish at 200 mg once on day 5
      3. Protocol 2: Constant
        1. Carbamazepine 200 mg every 8 hours or 400 mg every 12 hours
      4. References
        1. Malcolm (2002) J Gen Intern Med 17:349-55 [PubMed]
    3. Gabapentin
      1. Potentiates CNS GABA activity and decreases glutamate activity
        1. Decreases Alcohol craving and depression
      2. Dosing (minimum effective daily dose 900 mg/day)
        1. Start 600 mg three times daily for 3 days
        2. Then 300 mg three times daily for 3 days

      1. Has also been used in Alcohol Withdrawal
      2. Not recommended for monotherapy (may be used as adjunct with Benzodiazepines)
      3. Avoid in severe liver disease or pregnancy
      4. Dosing 300 mg to 500 mg every 6 hours
  4. Adjunctive agents that require airway and ventilation management (see severe Alcohol Withdrawal protocol below)
    1. Phenobarbital
      1. Avoid IV infusion >60 mg/min
      2. Phenobarbital 5-10 mg/kg IBW up to 130 to 260 mg every 20-30 minutes titrating to light sedation

    2. Propofol infusion
    3. Dexmedetomidine (Precedex)
  5. Other symptomatic agents
    1. Beta Blockers (e.g. Metoprolol)
      1. Avoid in general as these mask withdrawal signs
      2. Symptomatic relief of chills, shakes
      3. Improves Vital Signs
      4. Use selective Beta Blocker in Coronary Artery Disease
        1. Metoprolol Tartrate (Lopressor) 25 to 50 mg orally every 12 hours

Ontology: Alcohol Withdrawal Delirium (C0001957)

Definition (MSH) An acute organic mental disorder induced by cessation or reduction in chronic alcohol consumption. Clinical characteristics include CONFUSION; DELUSIONS; vivid HALLUCINATIONS; TREMOR; agitation; insomnia; and signs of autonomic hyperactivity (e.g., elevated blood pressure and heart rate, dilated pupils, and diaphoresis). This condition may occasionally be fatal. It was formerly called delirium tremens. (From Adams et al., Principles of Neurology, 6th ed, p1175)
Definition (PSY) Acute alcoholic, psychotic condition characterized by intense tremors, anxiety, hallucinations, and delusions.
