Madam since you have hypothyroidism and on levothyroxine for controlling it, it is most important to take that medication regularly in correct dosage and maintain tsh around 3 to 4 mu/l.

Hi lybrate-user! either reduce the dose and consult your doctor or try psychotherapy and counseling for the same.

Abstaining oneself from any kind of addiction is not easy. You need to seek professional help and avoid self medication. Since I see you stay in bangalore I would suggest you to take your son to nimhans de-addiction centre or any psychiatrist near your vicinity.
