Q: I am addicted to Spasmo Proxyvon for the past two years. I want to stop taking this drug. Please suggest a few tips. I had tried to stop for about 16 days during which I could not sleep and I had pain in my legs. The food also tasted bad.

A:Spasmo Proxyvon contains dextropropoxyphene which is a weak opioid (opium-like) agent. You should gradually reduce the dose slowly but steadily and surely over the next few weeks. With a strong will power, it is not difficult. Please keep in mind that the situation will become worse if you do not stop now and you may need to go to a de-addiction centre.
