Have Tobacco And Smoking Addiction. Headaches, Feeling Depressed. Can You Suggest Anti-depressants?

Hi,
I have a habit of chewing gutka and very rarely smoking. however smoking I can quit easily as its very very rarely. but chewing gutka has been a headache to quit. But finally I have reduced to far minimum intake and also planned a date to quit thats y this week. however I need your support on few things, one, what to do with headaches while I stay away from gutka it becomes frequent and really annoying, two, is there any medicines you can prescribe for getting over like anti-depressent, three I have restricted mouth opening, my dentist suggested some gel which he gave me to apply on innerside of the cheeks, however he is not available now and I lost that gels name. can you suggest me that gel if possible?

Psychiatrist 's  Response
Hi,
Thanks for using healthcare magic.

I have gone through your available history.

Do you have any symptoms of depression like sadness of mood, disinterest at work or irritability or disturbed sleep etc?? If yes, you should consult psychiatrist for evaluation and depression.
If the answer is no, I do not feel any requirement of anti depressant drugs.

Withdrawal headache can be tackled with simple analgesic drugs like paracetamol or diclofenac sodium or naproxen sodium.

You should consult dentist for getting gel that helps in restricted mouth opening.

Thanks.
