Dear Lybrate user. I can understand. Codeine addiction comes under SUBSTANCE ABUSE AND ADDICTION. Deaddiction treatment is best suited for such addictions. Medically assisted drug detoxification or alcohol detoxification alone is ineffective as a treatment for addiction. The National Institute on Drug Abuse (NIDA) recommends detoxification followed by both medication (where applicable) and behavioral therapy, followed by relapse prevention.

Divalproex sodium is a psychotropic medication that is usually not prescribed for plain anxiety disorder diagnosis. I believe your psychiatrist has diagnosed you with some other condition as well for which this medication is being given. Nonetheless you seem to be concerned about weight gain and ask how you could lose weight. Both the medications can result in increased appetite. However consumption of meals or in technical terms caloric intake is in your hands. So a healthy meal along with a re...more

Dear User, you could do that or there are dicorate er 250 mg tablets also available. Using that would be a better option. You can start off with using 1 and a half tablets initially then if you seem to still have a seizure, then i would suggest you to get the 250mg tabs. And yes, dicorate causes hairfall.
