Withdrawal needs to be supervised by a doctor. What are your plans after you have gone through detox (withdraws)?
Recovery is about much more than stopping drinking or it was for me anyway.

It is possible the headaches are from the withdrawal.  Try to drink more water to stay hydrated.  Getting cleaned up can be stressful on the body.  Staying hydrated may help ease some of the symptoms.  Good luck!!!!
