Crap.
What about Neurontin? It seems to be effective for alcohol withdrawal at higher dosages. I'll have to look into phenytoin.

Wow. That is worse than I thought would occur so quickly at a low dosage.

Would you enter a clinical facility to try it? I really don't know anything about it. However, if it is standard practice with a high success rate, perhaps it is time to stop playing with the other anticonvulsants.

I imagine you would know quickly whether a drug would work or not. I doubt you would have to wait much more than a week to determine efficacy.
