Feeling stuck, Kratom, subs and the VA

Long story short, I have been taking Kratom (20+ gpd and opms extract tabs for the last seven years), about four months ago my psychiatrist gave me kpins for my PTSD and sleep, the funny thing is I didn’t even ask, anyway - it has been a godsend I take .5mg a few times a week. Kratom has now unfortunately turned on me and I feel that I may just be better off on subs. I was wondering if it would be smarter to try and do it through the pain clinic instead of the addiction clinic. I also was hoping they would not make me go to group as I’m currently in PT school. For the relief kpins is giving me I’m hoping I don’t have to make a choice. Has anyone been prescribed both of these meds through the VA, are they allowed to do so? My psychiatrist is really cool but I’m just nervous to tell her the truth and looking for advice. Thanks in advance for any input 😏
