hello,
the symptoms that you are experiencing are withdrawal symptoms of the drugs that you have been taking because you abruptedly stopped them and to make things worse you took alcohol so the symptoms have worsened.
to reverse the symptoms you have to be seen by your physician to sort you out there is no other way, if your physician is out of town would suggest you see another doctor as soon as possible to avoid more symptoms of the withdrawal.
hope have answered your query
takecare.
