Tapering off hydrocodone with kratom?

[WriterWoman]

I apologize for not knowing where to post this. I'm new to Bluelight. I am going to be starting a taper of hydrocodone in a few days and want to be prepared (I know a self taper is not recommended but it's my only choice at the moment). Will Bali Kratom really help ease the withdrawal symptoms (the worst being diarrhea, insomnia and muscle pain) and should I just follow the directions on the bottle? It's my last RX and I'm going to just gradually decrease over a series of several days til I'm totally out and am praying the WD's are minimal ( I did full Cold Turkey several years ago and know how bad it is).
Thanks.

Do you know how long withdrawal takes to kick in after you take the last hydrocodone pill? If I take my last dose on say a Thursday night, when would withdrawal start? I'm sure it depends on the dose huh? Thanks.
