He has also started taking vitamin B12 and thiamine this week. He was not eating much before because the alcohol was his calories, but has started to eat regularly now. But is still drinking, only 3 cans of cider a night compared to 10..

My fiance [M38] heavy drinker and benzo abuse the past 5 years, last Saturday woke up with double/ blurred vision, droopy right eye, and some delusional speech. Went to E.R, got discharged, told to see optometrist, and ophthalmologist. CT scans of brain are fine, but he is showing all possible signs of Korsakoff Wernicke's psychosis. The ER  doc also said it's a possibility. I am very scared. Does anybody know if this is life threatening? And if this can be stopped? Thankyou.

Possible Korsakoff Wernicke's psychosis?
