He continued to abuse because of its euphorogenic effects and withdrawal symptoms such as restlessness, anxiety, insomnia and loss of appetite appeared when he discontinued. During 16 days of admission maintenance methadone therapy began to treat the opioid dependence and hyoscine was tapered concurrently.
