Hi, I am a 27 y/0 Graduate student. I have been using opiates, primary hydrocodone. For several years off and on but, lately I have had exposure to using this drug constantly for around 2 weeks. I wish to better my life and totally free myself from this addiction/ dependency, I am currently going cold turkey (Day 1) I have recently tried a less known drug (kratom) which did help keep the withdrawals at bay, but I realize this is illegal in many states and I have to drive over an hour to buy this drug illegitimately at a store. My question is what do you suggest, in my case should I suffer through the hell that comes from withdrawals or try to use Kratom in very low doses for the first week to help ween myself back to normalcy?
