hiii dear
better to do experiment on your health

all are opioid and harmful to health
if you really want to quit than go for rehab

because in observation both the part of treatment are covered

ist is detoxification and treatment of withdrawal
2nd is rehab and counseling to stay on abstinence

so my advise to not take anything by own
consult proper doctor
be safe
quit today
take care
