Hello and welcome to Lybrate. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice. Every de-addiction medicine has its own side effects. There are other behavior modification techniques for smoking cessation and alcohol de-addiction. I suggest telephonic counseling and online psychotherapy for you.
You can contact me for further advice and treatment options. Let me know if I can assist you further. Take care.
