Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.
It is very difficult to manage withdrawal features on your own as it is severe enough to draw you towards addiction.
You must take help of psychiatrist or deaddiction center to come out from addiction.
Doctor may advise you for hospitalization for better control of withdrawal features and addiction.
Doctor may advise you to go for deaddiction psychotherapy for continuous motivation.
Thanks.
