Dear pt, it is very crucial to leave that type of drug. Some doctors give this drug as a sedetive, but pt suffers after effect. Apart. I am given some idea. 1) tapering drugs from one day to more days slowly. 2) go for morning walk for one hour until maximum sweating and exhaustion comes. 3) habit regular and very simple food just for satisfying your hunger. 4) need some constitutional medicines in regular basis. It can be given after taking case.
