Hi,I do appreciate the fact that you are willing to quit fortwin. Fortwin contains pentazoscine which is an opioid drug. It causes dependence and leads to withdrawal symptoms when you try to quit. In addition, you also might be suffering form an underlying depressive episode which will need evaluation too.I would suggest that you seek a psychiatric consultation for treatment. You can even consider inpatient treatment as that will help take care of withdrawal symptoms in a better way.  Treatment will include initial detoxification by managing withdrawal symptoms symptomatically. Thereafter, long term prophylaxis with naltrexone can be started which will help reduce craving for fortwin. In addition, you also might need treatment with anti-depressants like escitalopram for underlying depressive symptoms.Hope this information was helpful. Best wishes.
