Asking For Someone else, Other, Male, 31 Years old, wah cantt
My cousin has a history of psychological problems and he starts going to psychiatrist and then stops taking the sessions after few months, now he has become extremely dependent on tramadol and zolmitriptan and takes overdose of it , does not listen to anybody about it and becomes extremely cranky when he is having headaches and does not get the medicine, no one knows the exact daily dose but probably 2 to 4 tablets at one time i think, has he become addicted? What to do , nothing helps counseling goes in vain as well
Hi there. it is very likely that your cousin is addicted to Tramadol. Please take him to a Psychiatrist who can prescribe some medications to help him get over addiction.
I hope this helps
he need admission for detoxification of dependency upon these opoid analgesics and to manage withdrawl by a psychiatrist at a psychiatric facility
Dear!
Thanks for sharing your concern for your cousin.
Yes, it seems like your cousin has become addicted to the pain killers for his headache.
You can get him online consultation with an experienced psychiatrist

I'm sure we can find a way to help him after having a talk with him.
I've seen quite a few people with similar issues who were either misdiagnosed or misunderstood.
I'm hopeful about the positive outcome.

That is the main problem, he does not agree to go to the psychiatrist
