Q: I am addicted to Fortwin injections for the last 5-6 years. My dosage is 5 to 6 ampoules. Every day along with this, I take Corex 100 ml 2-3 bottles. Now I have started getting fits anywhere and any moment. What is the way out or is there any antidote for the same?
A:There is no antidote. You will need will power to get out of the trouble in which you have landed yourself. You will have to gradually decrease the dose of Fortwin injections from 6 to 5 to 4 to 3 to 2 to 1 before giving it up altogether. Similarly the same procedure should be applied to Corex. It would be wise to contact the De-Addiction Centre at the local hospital.
