What Are The Side Effects Of Kempro?

Hi, Im a male 23 and do not have any medical history i.e being diagnosed with any disease as such. few months back i started using illicit drugs, opiates to be precise (heroine) I'm confident about quitting and realise the difficulty there is. what I need to know is while there are many medications to treat opiates physical withdrawals, I do not want to use them, as they are mostly substitutes for the drug itself. putting the continuous rehabilitation aside, would using Kempro / (Procyclidine) help alleviate the physical symptoms of the withdrawal for the first 72 hrs? as far as I've researched this isn't used to treat heroine addiction at all, instead most i found was for patients with parkinsons disease, therefore secondly, I would like to learn if there are any major side effects or dangers with taking kempro in such a condition (when your nervous system is already in a state of confusion). currently Im tampering down my dosage of the opiates to a minimal level and drinking excessive water to detox most of that is in my body. eagerly waiting for a reply. Regards.

Please stop all such drugs. NO drugs can be used to withdraw other drugs. Also every drug have long-term or short-term serious side effects. One should have strong mind and confidence to leave such habit.Withdrawal symptoms are not severe and last for 2 days to several weeks only.
