Hi
Thanks for using healthcare magic
In your case, best method to leave injection is maintenance therapy in form of either methadone or bupronorphine. With these drugs, you would not get withdrawal and gradually you would able to leave the injection. Better to consult a psychiatrist for this. These drugs are not available over the counter.
Thanks
