Question: Can I be prescribed at home medical detox comfort meds? I have currently lost a loved one, I am in another state and I am having mild opiate and benzo withdrawal symptoms. I have taken Ativan to help with the shakes. Can I be prescribed lofexidine oral tablet or anything that can help me get through this at home? I can’t get to a medical detox and I really need help getting through the aches and the pains. Thank you

Brief Answer:
We can not give online prescription in this platform.

Detailed Answer:
Hello dear and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

I understand your concern dear.
These types of medications can not be prescribed online.
They need a physical examination by a doctor.
So, I recommend to see your general physician for the prescription.
Meanwhile, I suggest to use Benadryl to relieve the withdrawal symptoms.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Kind regards!
