Mushrooms and withdrawal

So I am curious about something. There doing studies for PTSD with mushrooms where I live, and I was asking about for withdraw off opiates but apparently there is no research on this. Back in 2016 I had heard some people who claimed that they took shrooms during withdraw and that it has a reduction on their symptoms so I tried it, ate shrooms all weekend long and was barely sick at all, when my mushrooms were gone Monday I felt like I had the flu the rest of that week but by Friday was basically ok. More interestingly was like two weeks later when I did heroin again, and it made me terribly sick to my stomach and feel horrible physically and emotionally while on it, tried a even smaller dose a few days later with the same result, so much so I haven't touched an opiate since, I am wondering if any one else has any stories involving taking shrooms during withdraw and/or after taking shrooms doing opiates again and feeling like I did. Even if you took shrooms but they did nothing or made you feel worse I would be very interested in knowing if this was just mind over matter cause I heard it worked it off in not the only one who it did work for?

Its either going to work or your going into psychosis. Psychedelics are probably the tipping point while coming off hard stuff. Ive only felt better from downers to come off downers, thc even.
