Addicted to hydrocodone for more than 7 years (450mg+ per day), with dozens of unsuccessful attempts to withdraw. Finally successful in January 2022, but substituted Kratom. When I stop drinking Kratom I go back into withdrawal, though not as bad as opiate withdrawal. Symptoms are nausea and a complete lack of dopamine; nothing - not exercise, ginseng, high doses of vitamin C, etc, can get me the energy to even get out of bed.
