Hallucinations, Over Excitement, Difficulty In Concentrating, Forgetfulness. Habit Of Taking Zolfresh, Multiple Tablets. Recommend

My brother has been taking zolfresh 10mg on a regular basis. Sometimes 1 pill is sufficient but at other times he takes upto 5pills a day.
He tried to drop the habit 2 and half months back but suffred from hallucinations, over excitement and now cannot concentrate in his study. He forgets things easily.
He has started taking it again since past 3 weeks. How can i help him drop this habit? Any medications
