I used it for a while when I first quit illicit #drugs since it massively quelled #opioid withdrawal, acting on the same receptors:

It's like the diet version of an opioid painkiller.

I slowly tapered off it until I didn't use it at all over roughly a year, and it used to be a lot more niche.

Now people are getting addicted to it in mass since it's a pain killer with extra effects, the #fda is eying it, and I'm glad I stopped.
