Withdrawal is rough
I am a recovering addict that has become taking kratom for about 4 years, pretty much daily. I can say that I’m pretty sure that I word be using if I were not taking kratom. I don’t know if anyone else has had this experience but a couple of years ago, I decided to stop taking it for a short time and I literally experienced pretty severe withdrawal symptoms. Once the diariah and vomiting started, I googled the withdrawal process and it recommended going inpatient in order to withdraw. Although it has been a major part of my daily life for a pretty long time now, I know first hand that the human body becomes addicted to this as with opiates and if a person takes a large amount for an extended period of time like I did, you will definitely feel it if you even reduce your intake or stop using completely.
Be careful with kratom. I know every bodies experience will be different, but I started taking kratom 15 months ago at a low dose. I constantly had to increase my dose to get the same effect. 15 months later, I’m spending $140+ a day on extracts, my whole life is revolves around finding the money to pay for my kratom habit. I started suboxone yesterday and I’m almost 24 hours off kratom. I do not wish the hell kratom has put me through on anyone. I was isolating, depressed, anxious and couldn’t get off of it no matter what i tried. Please be careful if you are considering kratom!!
Hi Jaylee
just wanted to ask you a few questions. If you can email me pls
Wow jaylee, I’ve never heard of anyone’s tolerance in that magnitude. God bless you, I start Suboxone this fall when my insurance is available, glad it worked, I have the same problem and I salute you for telling this .
Jaylee -Thanks for your post, I totally hear you!.
I am in no way saying Kraton should be labeled as a “Safe” drug/substance, but that Kratom has successfully helped many come off substances far worse than Kratom.
Using it as a short-acting & therapeutic substance to help come off a MUCH more harmful (synthetic) drug like Suboxone, methadone, fentanyl, or heroin has proved effective to many people.
I was an IV heroin user, prior to 10+ yrs of high dose Suboxone. Gave up Heroin once my kids were born, but stayed on Subs so that I could provide for my family as the sole breadwinner in the house.
One saving grace (for me) during this COVID-19 pandemic is that I now have the time to taper and go through AWS & PAWS.
Kratom, used at small doses, then tapering off – has been effective for 2 personal friends. They have been 100% sober for 4 & 7 years respectively. I hope to accomplish what they did.
Everyone’s physiology is different….I’ve been a HARDCORE Addict / opiate user my whole adult life. My brain knows only the opiate (mu & u) receptor stimulation that it receives each day to just feel “normal”.
I’ve used and abused every other drug on this green earth, to the point of cardiac arrest (twice). I am DONE with opiates. Kratom, in comparison, is a mild and therapeutic way to taper off, as I start to re-wire my brain & change my lifestyle with the goal of living a healthy life.
Kratom is not BAD or GOOD. It just is. Same as Caffeine, Alcohol, Tobacco & every other mood-altering drug ever consumed. It is up to us as individuals to take control of our lives. I am doing this by training my mind & body, following through on actionable goals that are NECESSARY for me to achieve. I’d like to see my kids grow up, God willing.
Jumping off & stopping any drug must be in the addict’s mind a “NEED”. Not just a “Want”.
As Tony Robbins would say. “MASSIVE ACTION” is necessary. A total reformation of beliefs.
Wish you the best!

Kratom is a better alternative than all these pharmaceuticals, suboxone can be abused as well. Kratom got me off fentanyl and Xanax, which ultimately would have killed me, so I will always stand up for this product. It’s all a matter of what’s the lesser of the evils, and never using anything in excess.
Did you have to wait 72 hour from kratom to suboxone? I’m starting suboxone from methadone and trying to figure out how to last 72 hours thought kratom might help but need to know
John / Brian-
I too am a 10+ yr Sub addict. 24-32 mg per day during that period (40 yrs old).
switched to Kratom, no sub withdrawal effects after 1 month of 4-8g of Kratom per day.
About to do a 1/2 dose every 7 days taper.
Prepared with supplements, comfort meds, NAD+ home treatment.
Done a lot of homework over the years in prep for this.
Reach out if you want. Wish U the best!
Hi Eric I’m about 6yrs in the methadone clinic I’m currently tapering down at 67mg a day I want OFF the stuff I’m not myself anymore. I’ve decided to try Kratom. Any advice? What strain should I start with? Feel free to email me directly. [email protected]
Hey, do you mind sharing the advice you got? I’m in the same boat the methadone and my boyfriend just started buying this kratom and it didn’t work for me. I tried 4 GS nothing. Should I try more? You can email me if you don’t mind.

Thanks girl
i have been on 140mg a day of methadone for 10 years. I did a rapid taper doing a 10mg drop every 5 days. I’m down to 20mg a day and have a couple if weeks to be out of meds. I started taking red bali and white maeng da at 20mg. And it helps. It’s kinda subtle at 1st but it does help alot. I started out with 2 grams in orange juice and am at 6grams of white in the morning and 4 grams of red in afternoon or evening. Be careful. I am very worried about the withdrawals of Kratom. Will have to taper off of it but not alot of data on how.
Todd how do I taper off kratom green maeng da ? Been using it for a month Will going back to my tramadol help . ?? Kratom starting to worry me .I do like 3 tbl. a day
The powder kratom, strain: red : the BORNEO has been the best for me. 1 tblsp per 1/2 cup liquid. It’s been a life changer 4 me
Hi 🙋🏻♀️ Can anyone tell me how someone would begin the detox process from fentanyl using Kratom. Someone I love very much needs help 💜
Brian I am so glad I saw your post. I’ve been on Suboxone for a few years now. I take about 8-12mgs a day. I see nothing but good regarding kratom. My order is being shipped. I see everywhere it being compared to an opioid. Is that honestly correct? When I take it how will I feel? Thanks man for your insight
Good day, thank you for this site it’s very informative. I’ve been using kratom for about a year now and it usually takes care of any pain issues that I have with bercitus.
I am concerned with any long term effects I may not be aware of.
Please share your concerns.

I’m new to kratom and using it solely for the purpose of detoxing off of suboxone which I’ve been prescribed for just over 7 years. My doctor had me weaning down for probably the past year. My last visit he told me to take 4mg suboxone for 2 months then drop to 2mg for a month and just stop completely. I told him I know for a fact going from 2mg to 0mg I would be kicking pretty bad to which he told me, “you’ll be uncomfortable for a couple days and then you’ll be fine.” Complete BS! Kicked like hell for 3 days and only seemed to get worse. I ordered Red Bali powdered kratom along with a quantity of 1,000 “000” capsules. I’m able to get just over 1g of kratom in each 000 capsule. I take 5 capsules when I wake up and usually do this 4-5 times a day (20g-25g). My plan was not to switch from suboxone to kratom but I do have some concerns. I will say, while using kratom through withdrawals I do not feel the withdrawals at all an actually end up being upbeat and in a good mood. I plan to taper down slowly as to not feel any effects of sub or kratom withdrawals. For anyone using this for suboxone withdrawal – research, research, research. Good luck!
Brian….can you give me some support bro? I’m a 10 yr 24 mg sub
Day 10 just switched to Kratom. Can we chat?
Funny, I too am a 10+ yr Sub addict. 24-32 mg per day during that period.
switched to Kratom, no sub withdrawal effects after 1 month of 4-6 g of Kratom per day.
About to do a 1/2 dose every 7 days taper. Prepared with supplements, comfort meds, NAD+ home treatment. Cross your fingers 4 me, John!

I just got red vein Bali capsules. First time taking Kratom but I’ve taken different opiats for about 15 years. Currently trying to get off Suboxone. How many should I take?
Usually capsules come in doses of around 500 milligrams. Since you’ve been on opiates for such a long time, I would start with 10 and move up from there. I would also recommend since suboxone has naloxone in it, it will be a waste to take the capsules until you start to feel withdrawal.
Just curious where I can get the best quality and prices for kratom?
Thanks,
Debbie
Hi everyone!! What’s best for detox
Bali !!!
Hi everyone!! What’s best for opioid withdrawals
Green maeng da. Works very well like an option. It can also be used for withdrawal of opiods.
How many capsules?
Try amino acids or The Thomas method or Kratom
I do 3 teaspoons of powder red kratom and it completely takes all withdrawal symptoms away. Actually feels as if i took around 40 milligrams if hydrocodone.
I bought a pack of 120 pills 72 grams I was told it was good for energy, I have chronic fatigue syndrome.How many pills do you take?
I take 6 capsules of maeng da each morning at 500 grams per capsule , really kicks my day off in a positive mood to deal with people and no side effects , just pure good mood! I caution you, it can may you feel like talking more than normal due to feeling positive, no high effects just positive vibe ! But I can’t say everyone will feel the same as I do , this is only what works for me !
You mean milligrams.
