Suggest Treatment To Get Off Of Lucozade

Hi. I am been drinking lucozade for the last 20 years and it has ruined my life. I have tried everything to get off it. I was off it for 3 months last year and my life changed. No mood swings, no nasal problems, no sleep problems, no anxiety or hyerness. I drank only water but I could not stay off it. Its an addition and I need help. I was going to try hypon+ses. Any suggestions? Regards, Billy, Ireland.

Hi,
Welcome to HCM!

I understand your problem Billy.

There are drugs available to get off from addiction. However, we do not recommend those drugs to be taken at home as the patient compliance becomes unreliable.

I'd strongly suggest you to visit a rehab center and get treated. You'll not only receive treatment, you'll also receive psychological support and the neccesary motivation. More importantly, staying in a rehab center will definitely keep you away from Lucozade till your treatment is completed.

Hence, I'd advice you to search for a rehab center ear you and visit it. Hope this information helps.
Feel free to ask if you have any other doubt.

Wishing you a speedy recovery.
With warm regards,
Dr. Sridhar Reddy
