hello
welcome to health care magic
Pentazocine is an opioid which has various withdrawl features if stopped abruptly......
Stopping without proper treatment can cause serious withdrawl consequences
i advise you to take help of a psychiatrist for de-addiction so that you can easily wean off without experiencing withdrawl features and also get treatment for depressive features......
Good Luck
Thanks

Hi and welcome to Healthcare Magic. Thanks for your question...
I appreciate your initiative to seek help for your addiction problem. With good motivation and appropriate therapy, you should be able to overcome this problem. Treatment usually involves two stages. First is the de-toxification stage where treatment is mainly aimed at reducing the withdrawal effects after stopping the drug and also addressing any medical complications). The second stage is de-addiction. This stage of treatment is mainly aimed at helping you stay off the drug and preventing relapses. Treatment is usually a combination of medication and psychotherapy. Please consult a psychiatrist for a detailed evaluation and further management.
Wish you all the best.
