HIThanks for using healthcare magicIn his case, you should try some benzodiazepine like lorazepam or diazepam to control the withdrawal symptoms like tremor, sleep disturbance etc. These drugs are not available over the counter, you need prescription for that, so better to consult a psychiatrist for proper management. In case, you need further help, you can ask.Thanks
