You may need counseling to help you stop using the drug and other medicines to help ease the withdrawal symptoms. Ask your doctor how long it's safe to continue taking the drug. Tell your doctor exactly how much of the drug you have been taking. Also tell your doctor if you are taking any other medications. Don't hesitate to be honest.
Doctors are familiar with the problem.
Don't try to stop taking the drug all at once. The first step to quitting is to admit you have a problem. Be honest and open with family and close friends. Ask for their help. Stay away from people who use drugs and who encourage others to use them.
