What Is The Medication For Withdrawal Symptoms Due To Corex Addiction?

My husband is addicted to corex for very long.. He is ready to leave and has tried many times. But due to withdrawal symptoms such as immense loose motion, leg pain, sleeplessness and emotional outbursts of anger and crying he has no go but to start again. Even massaging and pain relief medicine such as proxyvon do not help. What can be his medicine to help him rid this off and stop his craving too.
He is jus taking this whenever there is immense tension to keep him ib calm and controlled

Psychiatrist,  's  Response
Hello and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your query.


I understand that you are concerned about your husband who has a problem with Corex (opiate) addiction. It appears that he is going through a withdrawal phase currently.

Now, there are medication like methadone, subozone, etc. which can be given to reduce withdrawal symptoms. There are also other symptomatic treatments as well as anti-craving medication available. However, these can be prescribed only after he is evaluated properly by a doctor. So, I would advise you to consult a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further help for his de-addiction.

Wish you all the best.

Regards,
