Has anyone ever suffered from the feeling long after you are sober that you are still disconnected from your body? I wander from room to room forgetting what I went in there for, and wondering how I got there. I am dizzy, sleepy, nauseous, and have all the same symptoms as a person with a brain tumor. But since I think that is probably far-fetched, (and I don't have health insurance) I was wondering if anyone has ever had the same symptoms (unable to complete a thought; completely spaced out and vacant) as are described in alcohol dementia or Wernecke-Korsakoff disease, and if so does it EVER go away? I miss my old stredded out depressed self, now I am too spaced out and can't concentrate on anything long enough to even be depressed!

Insomnia, sleeping difficulty
Paleness
Rapid heart rate (palpitations)
Eyes, pupils different size (enlarged, dilated pupils)

Tremor of the hands
Involuntary, abnormal movements of the eyelids
Severe symptoms:
A state of confusion and hallucinations (visual) -- known as delirium tremens
