Hello,
SPASMAPROXYVON contains DEXTROPROPOXYPHENE which is a opiod agent and is highly addicting.
If you quit it cold turkey,as you have one it,then you get withdrawal symptoms like headache,loss of sleep,anxiety and panic attacks etc.
Ideally you should go to a de addiction centre but if you dont want to go there then you can restart your SPASMAPROXYVON with 50% of your earlier amount you were taking and then withdraw 10% every 10 days and this way you shall be able to come out of it gradually.
OR
You can simply have patience and face these symptoms for another 2-3 weeks as they would subside gradually.
You have done remarkably well by not taking it for past 2 weeks.I think you can show the same courage for another 3-4 weeks because the initial most bad period has passed.
Thanks
