Hello,
Thank you for trusting us.
You can safely take multivitamins. Make sure that the multivitamins you are taking contain Thiamine(vitamin B1). It can take 3 to 4 days to completely get over the hangover. And this depends on how much alcohol you consumed, your body weight and nutritional status.
Take Zantac for nausea/upset stomach and Tylenol for headache. Stay hydrated. Eat well balanced diet and get adequate sleep.
It is very important to quit drinking or drink in moderation for betterment of your health and general well being.
If you feel that you cannot do it alone, it is very important to seek help from medical professional to undergo detox program.
