The DTs from alcohol withdrawal can outright kill you. That’s the line I draw. Similar for other meds that have very unpleasant effects if you don’t taper off over weeks or even months.

Still neurological in nature.

Delirium tremens is a severe form of alcohol withdrawal. It involves sudden and severe mental or nervous system changes.

Delirium tremens may also be caused by head injury, infection, or illness in people with a history of heavy alcohol use.
