most of them don ' t know that they are balding , atleast i didn ' t until it was pretty much too late and my friend told me , i always thought i just had different hair or i didnt really notice . <| sep |> Personally I ' m a fan of Kratom , it ' s much more mild , and isn ' t quite as easy to abuse . The only issue with K tho , is that it isn ' t prescribed , and that there are politicians and a percentage of the DEA trying to put a ban on it . If you ' re looking for a lifelong solution , Kratom might not offer the stability you want , in terms of availability . Don ' t get me wrong , I love the stuff , it ' s been there to help me through wd many a time . But for now , in my opinion but I ' m not a doctor , Kratom is a safer bet for your recovery than oxy . You ' re playing Russian Roullete with your sobriety by switching to those . That ' s a steep path that ' s very easy to trip down . One bad day , someone dies , life just happens , and before you know it you ' re back to square one . Just saying . There are other pain managment solutions that don ' t involve methadone or opiates . Methadone is intended for people coming off opiates and looking to get a control over their addiction . Other pain killers exist . Soma for example , worked wonders for me at one point in my life . But anyway , you need to talk with a physician or your councilar about alternatives for pain . Don ' t throw your life into a blender just because you don ' t like methadone . You have options my friend .
