Hi,
You are right about all effects you mention, don't take it in the future [addiction causes mi, personality changes,
atherosclerosis, and many more]. You can take an
MRI test. It will rule out all severities. Take Atvin [1 mg only] for a week then 0.5 mg for next 4 days and then leave it.
It should not be taken after that strictly without prescription, otherwise it will cause harm. You must learn
breathing exercise, it will help you lot in all your symptoms, eat healthy fruits, juices, take amla,
aloe vera, basil, steamed vegetables for few days, these will naturally help to overcome even if craving comes.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Regards,
Dr. Sunny Madar, General & Family Physician
