The apparent dependence on alp might be due to some other more serious psychiatric disorder such as anxiety disorders or depression. Taking deltacortil also increases this risk.surely he needs a thorough psychiatric evaluation. The best that you can do to him is to convince him to get expert help instead of trying and error.
