Is There Any Medication For Withdrawal Symptoms Of Heroin?
Hi! Rajbir,
Thanks for your query.
Congratulations on quitting heroin. You have made a brave decision and I consider you a hero.
Yes, you may take Tab. Anxinil .5mg for withdrawal symptoms of heroin. Only thing is it is not available Over the Counter. A prescription of a registered Allopathic doctor is necessary.
Anxinil contains Alprazolam, which is a potent short-acting drug of the benzodiazepine class. It can be used for insomnia due to Heroin withdrawal.
But it is better that you get admitted in a de-addiction centre for some time.
Heroin is a semi-synthetic opioid drug synthesized from morphine, a derivative of the opium XXXXXXX It is highly addictive and misused drug.
I hope my answer has been adequate and informative. If you have any follow up queries I will be available to answer them.

Thanks for your reply its really helpful.
Can you please suggest how much quantity should i take for a better sleep and i think i can fight its withdrawals. So, i don't think i need to join any rehab or something and getting Anxinil .5mg is not a big deal for me without any prescription. Is there any other drug which i can use to lower down the withdrawals of it like nausea and muscle pain? FYI my dad expired last month that is y i am trying to get off it because i have big responsibilities.

HI! Rajbir,
ALPRAZOLAM would be helpful. The drug dose needs to be decided by the doctor who examines you as this may vary in each condition .However,keep in mind that you have to again taper off ALPRAZOLAM too as it is also habit-forming.Discuss the option with the doctor. You will just change from heroin to ALPRAZOLAM
Any pain-killer can be used for the muscle pain. Again a word of caution. Pain-killers are also habit-forming.
Non-pharmacotherapeutic Management of Restless Leg Syndrome: Stretching the leg muscles can bring relief lasting from seconds to days. Walking around brings relief also. Tiredness can be a factor and some sufferers may find going to bed usually stops the discomfort. Bouncing or shaking the legs/feet in an up and down motion, with the ball of the foot on the floor when sitting down may bring temporary relief.
Pharmacotherapy for Restless Leg Syndrome involves gabapentin or pregablin. Taking Iron Supplements also help when Anaemia is the cause.
Wish you good health
