Hi all….
I know this thread is old but I’m lost…
I have been in pain management for 13 years, oxycodone 10mg 5x daily but the last two years I’ve been abusing them.. doing my whole script in a week and then buying them to keep up.. i recently went on Suboxone 8mg 2x daily and I want off… When I went to my vape ahope I snagged a bag of white Keaton.. I’ve tried the red vein and it knocked me out…
My question(s) are
Will white kratom help with withdrawal of I take it alone or should iix it with my red?..I am new at this and I need help. I want my life back, I want to be me again..
I was in your shoes other than the abuse, I started Maeng Da witch is the strongest strain of the silver I took 10 caps
3 times a day I found I had more energy , focus and not so bad pain relief. I now use the Red Vein Bali and dont even think about pain pills.You have to get your mind right that you want off of them or nothing will work. Good luck
Hey brother I under stand I’ve been there before heroin 8 years subs to kick the h and back again …. I’ve worked in three vape shops in town tried allot of the product and researched passionately as I swear by it! But not with out its downside (NOTHING ever is ) but it’s far less than what you are taking. All strains are typically have the same ingredients but each strain has a difrent ratio of those ingredient s and thus the reason of difrent effects but best way to conceptualize is low dose is a stimulant… higher dosages a sedative effect !… 3 grams is thresh hold… now to make what kratom you use nearly double in strength and duration boil water add kratom with a squeeze of lemon juice . But an hour before spoon full of turmaric.. and or instead of tea use grapefruit juice. but online kratom in bulk as 1000 grams or kilo is only 75 bucks instead of only a 100 grams at best…. that’s my best advice… but best strains is red , gold, which typically is all the strains blended together😋
I’ve been on methadone for about 10+ yr, I’ve detoxed down to 25mg. I dont know how much longer I’ll be able to use methadone. I’ve been reading the threads and have hope, but it seems most of you that have had success were coming of subs. Please if anyone has any helpful insight or experience with this please email me. [email protected]
I understand exactly where u r coming from I however did it the stupid way and quit cold turkey on 55mg methadone 7 days ago and though most of the withdrawls r tolerable now the restless legs and lack of strength is what I’m trying to overcome now…I recently bout a bags of red bali and just took first dose an hr ago didnt feel much so I took more as most have suggested and I feel a little more relaxed but may need more so will just wait and see….does anyone recommend anything else I should do or try…I’m getting the white maeng da to help with energy.
I am a kratom user/advocate and agree that it is great but what would be most helpful for advice also is the strain you are getting relief from. The one I use for everything from depression to anxiety, energy ,focus and pain relief is Red Maeng Da powder. I use it in a shake but it is not water soluable so it has to be mixed with yogurt first. I go for the powder due to my budget. That strain also leaves me with an incredible peaceful feeling as well! Be careful of whom you get it from as well, I buy from a reputable vendor online, please don’t get it from a “head shop” as some refer to them. Do your homework by looking up reviews for different sites/companies. Hope this helps, good luck , you can do this!
Looking and hoping for some advice. I am currently (unfortunately) back on opioids after kicking them through subs a few years ago. I started back after spending some time in the hospital and stupidly allowing them to prescribe me oxycodone when I got out. A year later I’ve now been taking the “pressed” oxycodone which I’m pretty sure are nothing but fentanyl. I just had my first child and I am so ready to be free of this addiction again but I’ve experienced precepts withdrawals before with subs and also just the normal withdrawals when trying to come off. It’s debilitating. Someone recently told me about Kratom and I’m so hoping this can help me get back to a normal life. I just had my first child and I want to be the husband and father I need to be. It’s also starting to effect my work. My question is, can I start taking kratom within hours of taking my last opiate dose or is it like suboxone where it will send me into withdrawals? Also, what type and how much would suffice to get me started. I’m more motivated than ever to get back to where I was but I am super scared of going through the same withdrawals I have in the past. Currently I am taking about 5 30mg pressed oxycodone a day. Please any advice or help on the type and how much to start would be so appreciated. I’ve honestly never posted on anything like this but I really am desperate and ready to get back to being my self. I am currently starting counseling as well but I just need to get over this first hump of the immediate withdrawal from stopping the opiates. Thank you for any and all advice.
-John, wassup buddy I’ve dealt with similar issues and I know where u are at. I was an opiate addict for years.. everything from fentanyl to heroin.. pretty much whatever I could get my hands on I’ve done extensive research on kratom and have surfed the web countless hours for reputable vendors and premium quality product. Kratom has changed my life without a doubt. If u would like some personal advice or any information on strains, dosage, use, vendor, etc, here’s my email. [email protected] I would love to help somebody who is willing to help themselves. Hit me up! Hope your doing better
Kratom changed my life but I had to use methadone first at a clinic because h wasn’t able to be accountable enough to taper my opiates on my own.
I wanted the change so I did not abuse my methadone and used kratom at night only. I had to be ok with not being ok for a little and once my methadone was at a completely taper I kept up with kratom and my life has changed. It has kept my mind clear and has stopped be several times from relapsing. Rehab and NA never worked for me but Kratom has.
Hi John, I see a few people have already chimed in but I thought I’d get my 2 cents in as well. I tried to switch to kratom and taper myself off of opioid addiction by myself a couple years ago and found that I did not have the strength of will to stick to my schedule but if you think you can do it (especially if you have friends and/or family who you trust enough to ask for help) then I think it is worth a try. For me, Suboxone was a godsend, I stayed on a stable dose for 1 year until I was able to adjust my lifestyle then tapered over almost 2 years to keep withdrawal to a bare minimum. After stopping the subs about 2 weeks ago I have used a bit of kratom on 2 occasions to ease the symptoms for a specific reason (didn’t want to be sore and weepy at Christmas dinner lol) and it has been useful for that purpose. In short, my recommendation would be to go back on the subs and have some kratom on hand in case you really need it. As for precipitated withdrawal, it is probably not a concern when switching from fake oxys (definitely fentanyl if they are pressed but look like oxycontin, but could just be oxycodone IR) because oxycodone/fentanyl have very strong receptor affinity but kratom alkaloids do have weaker receptor activity so could cause PW if you take a very high dose.
I took kratom like 6 hours into suboxone withdraw 3ish years ago..best worst decision of my life lol. And I really dont think kratom works the same..some people MAY have a bad reaction early like that while taking subs,but i feel like the docs tell you that to lower you’re chances of getting off the subs.
I am currently on 8 msg of suboxone, was on 16 msg but been down to just 8 for almost a month now, is it ok for me to take kratom while I’m slowly working my way off of my suboxone or do I need to be completely off of it first?? My bf takes kratom and his mood is better than normal he loves it and I have sever depression and just want to be off this shit, I don’t want to relapse because of coming off too quickly and being sick like I did before so any comments would turkey help! Thank you!
I was on about half of that dose when I started taking the Kratom. I started off with a smaller dose maybe like 2-3 grams n just started taking smaller n smaller pieces of sub. I didn’t have any adverse affects. Just start small, you can always add more but you can’t take it away lol. Good luck!!
Krystal ,
In that much Sub Kratom is not going to do anything for you . You need to break down your pills or films to 1/4s . Do 3/4 for a week then go to 1/2 a pill for a while . You don’t need 8 mg . You just think you do . I bet you would be fine going right to a 1/4 . And I speak this from years and years of experience . I was an oxy addict . Was on 190Mg of methadone for years . Because they would let you increase your dose at will . What a stupid thing to let an addict do huh . I’m on ly recently on Kratom myself . Got down to about and 1/8 of a sub every other day before I could feel the Kratom . But it helps . It really does . I have just gone almost 2 weeks without sub now and this is after being on 8mg a day for about 10 years .
I think it’s ok only if you have the strength to continue your subs taper. I personally did not and needed accountability from the clinic. You’re just going to have to be ok with not feeling ol for a little but once you get past it like is much worth living and Kratom seriously changed my life and got me off the streets. I can now be a mom and have held the same job for over two years which was unheard of for me.
I personally don’t think it would be a bad idea to begin taking kratom while you’re attempting to get off subs. My suggestion would be to wait until you need it and it should help take the sting out of some of the withdrawal symptoms. For example, if you go down to four mgs try taking one teaspoon of maeng da kratom three times a day, once in the morning, once at lunch, and once around dinner time. I take one tablespoon 3 times a day for anxiety for its “nervine tonic” effect. I didn’t start using kratom until I had about 3 years clean, and before I tried it I was pretty close minded to it and considered it like a narcotic or something. Although I’m persuaded one can overdo it, I don’t view kratom in and of itself as a bad thing. Hopefully you find my feedback useful. Blessings on ya.
Good luck,Paul!
I was on prescription pain meds,and have withdrawn completely months ago..it was HELL..am using KRATOM for pain relief,and some depression,its a subtle feeling for me, not seeking euphoria,just to make the pain manageable..How are you doing? You only dose once daily? That holds you?
Congratulations on your personal,✌ victory
I was 39 hours off of my last 2mg dose of Subutex. I took a 0.5 mg capsule of Kratom and experienced tremendous relief instantly. I plan to once again go as long as I possibly can, hopefully another 36 hours, before taking another. I am prepared for the long fight. I refuse to be dependent for life. I spent 3 years tapering to 2mg a day of Subutex and I hope that Kratom can be my key to success. Wish me luck.
Best of luck to you! I am a prior opiate user and Kratom has helped me to not pick it back up. It satisfies me but in high doses. I’ve tried various brands and strains For me the biggest drawback is being constipated, more than when I used opiates. I typically take a dose that is equivalent to 25 grams (I think) around 3-4 tablespoons but it’s also because I’ve developed a tolerance. I use it several times a week because I like how it makes me feel. I want the euphoric effect and helps satisfy the itch you know? One day at a time brother. Good luck, you can do this! Happy new year.
Jennifer Clark,
What kind of kratom do you buy and from where? How do you take the spoonfuls?
Thanks for sharing piece of information with us.
I had health problems. Nothing was happy and I felt that depression appeared. I did not want to resort to the help of a psychiatrist, since there was already negative communication with this specialist.
I wanted to be more fun, more energetic, to have time to do a lot. My friend from Europe suggested I try Kratom. It was Maeng Da Red Vein Kratom.
It is he who is valued for his properties to give maximum euphoria and relaxation. All symptoms of depression are gone. The good news is that there is no getting used to kratom. Today you can eat it, and then do not eat for a week. A good thing!
A few months ago I had a horrible throat infection, it was just about the sickest I ever felt in my life. It was partly due to too much toss and wash. In my experience kratom an wreak havok on the throat if you’re not careful. Out of sheer desperation and after finding a sound therapy video that greatly relieved my tinnitus, I ended up trying meditative chant. After about a half hour of chanting at 192hz, the pain was almost completely gone, after another couple hours I was feeling completely healthy. I had the most horrible disgusting taste and feeling I had ever felt in my throat and chanting at the proper frequency completely relieved it. I’ve applied this approach to other problems with great success. You can’t expect any single substance to completely alleviate any of your problems. If you have anxiety, you need to meditate. If you have depression, you need to meditate. If you have irritable bowel syndrome, you need to meditate. Sound therapy is a much more direct and effective tool than any chemical. Prayer is most important. Kratom is a great tool, but if you only rely on substances, you will always be a miserable addict. That’s just the way it is.
You’re an idiot.
this is the most stupidly hilarious crap I’ve ever read
Great comment and I agree with alot of what you said. Just fyi..gargling is good for washing things out when you toss and wash. I had the same issue and I think I what is happening is that very fine powder is getting into the airway leading to the lungs.so gargling helps to wash that out with out choking. Glad your feeling better❤
In 07′ I started going to a pain management clinic in ft Lauderdale I went to college in that area and was able to show them a garbage xray of an old hockey injury of my shoulder. This is when those doctors were prescribing 230- 250 30 mg roxidone tablets a month a long with whatever else you asked for. I would get the Roxy’s some narcos and either klonopin or xanax. I was doing that for about a year and then the place dissapeared. I was forced to buy on the streets and been doing so since. The amount of money I’ve spent on opioids is insane. But I had to do it in order to work or feel normal. Today is the first time I tried kratom. I took it about an hour ago and i want to say it’s working but obviously I’m looking for like a opioid feeling. I can say that the withdraw feeling has passed and I do feel less anxious about not having an opioid. So maybe it’s working!! If this lasts and it helps me with these withdraw symptoms then it is a miracle. I’ve dealt with the ups and downs of opioids and its withdrawals for a decade and it’s such a horrible life. This might save me.
I was on over 300mg of oxycodone for 20yrs.and was cut off my meds.kratom help me get off of them.send me a friend request on fb nikki jones
I was also, 360mg.×day oxycodone IR habit. Then switched to Subutex then Suboxone, for the past two years. I’ve weaned down to .5mg on the Subz. I plan on switching over to the Kratom. What is the recommended dose and or strand? I heard that Maeng Da works well. (There’s a whole list of Nikki Jones’ on FB by the way), so don’t know which one to send a ‘friend request’ to. If you could get back to me on this forum, it would be greatly appreciated, thanks.
Matt, I just stopped the subox 3 days ago after taking 8 mg sublingual strips for 2+yrs after a 15+yr oxy/H habit. The kratom shop I went to was knowledgeable af- the red strains are better for opioid detox & they recommended the strongest strain- woolly mammoth. Since the subs have a 24 hr half life, I took my last strip at 6am Thursday and started the Kratom at about midnight last night (Friday). They told me to take 1.5 tsps as needed but minimum of 3 times a day (morning, midday, night). I’ve been taking it every 3 hrs today cause it’s my first real day of detox. I’m functional, the hot/cold sweats are there but not half as bad as they normally are (but they’re worsening). Not too much muscle pain, stomach is screwed up but not too bad, the depression is manageable & I’ve got some energy. The Kratom will build up in your system (like the suboxone had to) so I’m gonna decrease as needed. Microdosing w/shrooms to get you through the worst of the detox has worked wonders.
Pro tip: Mix the Kratom with citric acid to make it work faster & stronger- I’ve been taking mine with Santa Cruz Organic (brand) pure lime juice- no concentrate bs juice cocktail stuff. Good luck.
Take a little more in the beginning to get you through the worst of the kick. I, personally, found my sweet spot at 9g burned 3x/day. Red Maeng Da works well for opiate withdrawal but my experience was it added to the insomnia so daytime only. Red Bali at night for withdrawal as it is more sedating. I have tried a sample of Red Malaysia and will be acquiring more as it’s like taking a happy pill and worked for withdrawal, as best I could tell having only burned abt 18g. I start slowly backing my dosage off after a month, as I am a daily user using it instead of Subs for maintenance.
Dude I feel you mike so give this a try bc yes I agree there is a withdraw off kratom nothing like oxy you have to agree you should consider loading with magnesium helps with rest legs and use a powder your body processes it a little different then the capsule so u can use less if it’s fast use honey I would say use 4 grams 4 times a day for 10 days then then drop to 3 grams for times a day then get to 2 grams 4 times a day each at 10 days apart down to 1 gram 4 times a day you will still feel like blah then use 1 mg of sub for 2 days and after that nothing that activates your mu receptor I used phenobarbital for the next 2 nights dude u will sleep don’t over due that just let your dr know dude it works good I went through it and I was truly addicted to Oxycodone 300 mg a day bro I thought I was just not normal I’d never be able to do it dig deep write this plan down bring a a note book and check off as u go all I’m saying kratom can save you look ppl have withdraw from coffee so yes there’s withdraw from kratom it can be used to save life’s it should be studied it’s sad that it’s not being put into the drs hands to help ppl get off pills and even dope by the way never use Suboxon long term no good
I was…and well still am still looking for the withdraws to stop due too my Kratom miricale pill??? If I run out of Kratom I have withdraws pretty much as the Opoid withdraws are…Greenvain capsules are what I get. IF IM MISSING THE BOUT…LOL…
I was on strong opiates for 15 years after a horrific motorcycle accident…didnt want to live that life anymore at 60 yrs young..withdrawls were killer.. I quit on my own within 7 days using very small pcs of suboxone and then kratom..now i use kratom a couple times a week for pain and to boost energy. I will never return to the devil pills again. I am finally feeling what i am guessing normal to be since i had forgotten because of fentynal and oxys being in me 15 years. Kratom saved me from a road to death with opiates.
Hang in there, Greg. Be patient and let nature’s medicine do its work! Kratom will help you, just fight the good fight.
Greg, Im right there with you on that buddy! I have had over 15 surgeries over the years (I’m only 37 years old). Due to the chronic pain that has never subsided I am in pain management. I currently am prescribed 120 10mg Percocet a month. I have been in pain management in the past….on Fentynl, morphine, opana, you name it. I am completely dependant on opiates to cope with my pain…..but they are ruining my life. I have to take at least double the dose prescribed in order for it to work due to the tolerance level I’ve built up for the medication. I run out of my script about 12 days before my refill is due. I figured I’d give Kratom a try, because of the withdrawals I get, along with the debilitating pain. It works like a miracle!! I take 5 to 7 grams of green Bali powder about 4 times per day (the times I would normally take my Percocet) and I don’t even notice any difference….. besides the fact that it actually works BETTER on my pain and gives me endurance and energy. Kratom truly is a gift that God created on this Earth! Good luck to you and I hope you find hope in Kratom like I have!
