Hi Lybrate user,
appreciate that you are able to acknowledge your addiction and aware of the medicine which is working for u. Please don't switch over from medicine to medicine and try to adapt to the same medicine which is suitable to you irrespective of side effects, with the consultation of doctor. Meanwhile, try to keep your lifestyle active, consult a psychologist and work on your emotions. Join yoga and work on your breathe. This will help you in the long run. All the best.

Dear Ashika,
Your husband needs assessment, just like any other addiction. Then he needs to undergo motivational enhancement therapy for at least 12 weeks. If he has any psychiatric disorder along with this addiction, it has to be treated simultaneously. After that, he needs long term follow up to prevent relapses. Finally with the help of both the families, see that all his financial dealings are from joint accounts with you.

Hello lybrate-user. I'm so sorry to hear this. Alcohol is an addictive substance and any person can get dependant on it, especially if used over a long time or in heavy amounts. It is common for a person to lose his inner inhibitions and sensibility under alcohol intoxication, and get aggressive with oneself or others. To help with this, the best option is to consult your psychiatrist for a detoxification program.

Dear Kamal,
Are you dependent on narcotics? Buprenorphine makes this addictive habit less risky. You may not overdose and die of narcotics. With buprenorphine, less withdrawal symptoms. All the other tablets may be for your associated mental health issues or management of withdrawal symptoms or for medical complication of your habit of taking narcotics. Please decide for something less harmful so that you can have better quality of life.

Yes it can be quitted but journey of recovery is not as short as 1 month. In most case it takes around 4-6 month, in some it might take a year or so, but not with tapentadol alone.
