then .25 twice with .5 mg in night for 1 week,gradually reducing the dose and frequency,we can stop the above medicine in period of 3 months,or may be continue at night time for longer period so it is safe and not habit forming medicin.inspite of medicine your's hasband needs counsalling regular to ride of addiction.
