I’m a recovering opioid addict who “was” clean for 7 years, I tried kratom two year ago due to a car accident. I wandered Into a smoke shop to get hookah supplies and was recommended to try it since its “natural”. I hear it works for some people but its wide availability and uninformed salesmen are misleading people. I fear I gotten out of control and have the same urges as opiates. I’m up to about 60g-90g a day of green vein powder. It’s more affordable than other opiates so I can afford it for now but I fear my tolerance will get even higher. I’d like to cut down to a lower amount and possible quit all together. I’m getting married soon and would like to not have to worry about having it on the honeymoon. Any advice on how to cut down easily in 2 months without rehab would be appreciated. Dont let anyone fool you, you can get addicted to this stuff especially if you have history.
Hey Sam.
I’m in the same boat and here’s my current situation; I’m tapering the shit out of myself with the following help; DLPA, powdered rosemary, and megadose of vitamin C (for how much please refer to the references at the end). In two days I’ve OVER halved my dosing (the amount, not the frequency which is important to note I think) but am still getting up (with slight sweats/chill) too early and hence addition of rosemary AM and PM starting today. I know I’m in WD because I have the loose bowels and am sneezing periodically.
Only the slightest of dopesick which is a remarkable improvement considering the 3 times i tried WD ‘cold turkey’ and was jumping out of my skin, jumping twitches upon waking, hot/cold/chills… Then I’d just double up my dose upon waking and resign myself to spending my life on kratom. I did this three times. As a result my tolerance went through the roof like yours. :\
For two days now that I’m feeling better physically (this time, using the taper + comfort supplements) I can get to dealing with my emotional aspect of the W/D (DLPA) whereas before, I was too physically sick to even deal with the mind/brain. I bought my last kilo with the idea that this is my taper order. At this rate, though, I’ll still have 500 grams when i’ve finished. Hell yeah to the Feck Yay!
When I get to PAWS (post-acute withdrawal) and have the suicidal thoughts/depression I’m staying on my doses of DLPA (purchased from Amazon, Solarray’s version) for at least a month because #1 it’s inexpensive and #2 i’m prone to episodic depression anyway. I was turned onto DLPA from the following information guide which I hope can be of help to others desiring to lessen/WD from kratom (or other opiods): https://opiateaddictionsupport.com/dlpa-for-opiate-withdrawal/#DLPAto_the_Rescue

Hey man I know what I’m about to suggest won’t sound real because of all the other people regurgitate the same shit. I have a history of addiction myself and what worked for me was focusing and fine tuning my relationship with my spirit. My addiction lead me to God which I know is what happens for a lot of people. Maybe that will work for you or maybe not. But you asked for advice and this is without a doubt the best advice I can give you. With an open heart, reconnect with your spirit. I know you know like I know that there’s no easy road to recovery. This one isn’t either cus for a while you’ll feel like nothing’s happening. But give it a few real days and I promise you’ll get better inshaAllah. Good luck friend.
You are so right! It works for me and amazed every time I think about it.
My advice would be to to not let a substance rule your life. If you are in the habit of making impulse choices you might want to get a handle on that versus blaming the substance
Hi I’m Peggie and I’ve been using heroin snorting it for about a year like a 20 pack a day like a
Is kratom dangerous with moderate alcohol use? I’m still getting my narco but interested to get off them for a plant. Just ordered some on line. A recommendation where to purchase would be appreciated. I watched a special on TV where a scientist went to Thailand and used kratom and talked and studied it.
The out come was there was nothing wrong with the plant and if anybody was against it they unreasonable . The alcohol use never bothered me. This is with liver enzymes checked every to 6 months because of the norco for over 10 years.
*There is no free lunch people, Kratom isn’t going to magically make opiate withdrawal completely go away. Don’t fool yourself, Suboxone and methadone are merely postponing withdrawal because of their half life.
Reposted this paragraph to due autocorrect typos.
Well suboxone and methadone have nothing to do with kratom. Kratom helps significantly ease opiate withdrawals through its alkaloids temporarily attaching (rather than binding) themselves to opiate receptors. It does not simply postpone withdrawal. It’s not going to do everything for a recovering opiate addict, but it can make a difference major enough to be life vs. death for the user. Educate yourself rather than doomsaying fear-mongering juxtapositions that make no sense.
What is that supposed to even mean?? You can take yourself off Suboxone and go through zero withdrawals besides being a tiny bit tired, and kratom can help offset any of that . I tapered off 16 mg of sub a day Just by tapering slowly, on the days I felt a little groggy kratom more than helped. Tapering slowly is the key , You should say things to try to inspire people to get off that shit. not scare them.
It’s a more modern way of going about treating addiction but “harm reduction advice” is much better than telling people that they’re addicts and need to stop everything. If Kratom has some risks but Joe blow uses it instead of heroin: that’s better than putting him in treatment where he’s just gunnu crave dope and possibly relapse.
Exactly what i did and no withdrawals so far👌
Hi, I just ordered some Kratom. I ordered white, yellow and red. I I’m a total insomniac and need multiple pills to put me to sleep. I was wondering how many table spoons it will take to guarantee that I will be Knocked out. I’m 6ft tall and weigh 250lbs. Someone please help!
Not much, may a teaspoon or less to start. Try have a teaspoon a few hours before bed in case it kicks hard. If it doesn’t you can always take a little more . Finding your dose is what’s important here
There are diffrent kinds and diffrent blends out there and you can mix em as well I would research how to go about that before mixing anything up. Red seems to be the most sedative IMO. Kratom is a energy booster as well.. (the green) that’s just what I’ve learned so far..
Hey just looking for the right mind set bipolar with major anxiety and depression
Aloha David…Not! Tablespoons…. think smaller! White is the strongest stimulant, I only use that in the morning. Bentuangie is the only strain where I felt a bit ‘knocked out’, red strain too. Yellow is supposed to be relaxing as well. I take only a mim amount mainly for intractable nerve pain. For RLS and sleep, I use passion flower extract, CBD and kava. After reading some of these posts, I am concerned about kratom withdrawal. However it’s either this or some other kind of pain relief.
I have been using Kratom for. 6 years for arthritis. 1 teaspoon am and 1 teaspoon pm. All is well and I dont plan on increasing the dosage. The best wat for me to take it is with orange juice.😁
What type of Arthritis do u have. What were you doing for pain . Does this really help.
I am at the end of a kratom detox. I was taking 25 grams a day 3x a day for a total of 75 grams a day of bali kratom powder. It has been a little over a month and I am down to 5 grams once a day at bedtime because at night I still get the shakes from the detox. One thing I have noticed and am curious to get a little insight on –if I take any opiate (oxycodone, codeine) or benzodiazepine (lorazepam) the kratom blocks both of them,, which is worse than suboxone, which only blocks opiates. Has anyone else been blocked from opiates or benzos while on kratom, and if so, how long do you have to be completely off kratom to not be blocked anymore?
Im needing to know which types to take for energy, i have none due to my medical conditions. Also need for pain management so i can stop the hydro. Have never taken kratom before so doseages would be helpful also
Hi Barb – visit our page on Kratom Strains https://www.kratomscience.com/strains-effects-and-dosage/
Hey there, I take (9~12) grams in the morning of mang-da powder. I’m 6’3″ 250lbs that’s two or three teaspoons. I have the same symptoms you described. I’ve had multiple surgeries on my back and shoulders. I was in pain management but at the start of 2019 everything changed. Government under big push to get everyone off medications. It doesn’t work like the medications I was taking but it helps. I also noticed more energy. I don’t take it at night. Everyone reacts differently. My suggestion would be a teaspoon (flat measure) in the morning. I take it with warm water followed by coffee. You have to find what works for you. I also found it may take 45min to take effect so I also suggest waiting an hour. I’ve taken more in a short period of time and it was too much not anything bad for me just a little irritable.
Your going to want to go with the MAENG DA it is the best one for energy at least for me I struggle bad with that as well and I am way to young to be dealing with that type of stuff but opiates are the devil. I would start with 3 to 4 capsules and see how you feel the less you take the more stimulating it is the more you take the more numbing and relaxing it is 🙂 hope all is well and good luck to you!!
Barb, White for flight, red for bed and green for in between 🙂 As you figure out what you like you can also mix them! Good luck!
Im needing to know which types to take for energy, i have none due to my medical conditions. Also need for pain management so i can stop the hydro.
As you have probably heard, the green leaf promotes energy, while the red is more for pain management, and relaxing. But they have a lot of overlap, and both would work. MaengDa is supposed to be stronger, but any good Bali green or red will work.
Start low, and try both. Many people like to mix, to get the most suitable effects.
One more thing, I won’t advertise for any certain vendor, though I have a few favorites. I WILL say however, do a search for “wholesale kratom”. The prices for a half or a full kilogram (2.2 lbs) will blow away any retailer price.
Exactly! I bought in bulk direct from farm in Indonesia, happy about it. Only thing I wonder about, is shelf life?
hi.im needing help with dosage and everything.im on about 3 grams of H a day iv user.i just got red vein and white vien 500mg 20ct on both. will this help me kick my detox symptoms down? how much n how often should i take it please email me
yea, you shouldnt have opiate withdrawl of 2-4 grams of kratom.. the red is better for opiate addiction since its more of a pain killer than energy(white/green). i take 4 grams at a time 3 times a day. I Been doin it that way for 5 months. I wish i woulda found this when i was commin off H but i cold turkeyed that shit and it almost killed me. I take the white maeng da… amazing for mind blowing energy without the jitters..Kratom is awesome
Hey guys, I am an individual who has overcome opiate addiction with Kratom. I can give you all of the info you need and would love to help. Email me [email protected]
Go get Maeng Da Kratom. I would mention a specific brand here but I don’t want to appear to be biased in general.
Take a teaspoon every hour until you don’t feel miserable.
The risk of taking too much kratom vs being addicted to IV opiates aren’t even measureable.
When I was getting off of a 5 year 450mg per day Oxycodone habit I was taking a teaspoon in the morning and one at night AFTER I did a 14 day taper down to 60mg without any help. My girlfriend one morning made my dose for me and used a tablespoon and doubled it thinking I wasn’t taking enough. It had no ill effects. I only found out when discussing dosages with her and the possibility of overdosing.
Do not use Kratom while still taking a “normal” dose of opiates. Take Kratom as a crutch only when you feel miserable from withdrawal. If you do this you won’t get negative effects of Kratom, it will merely act as a tool. And if you take a dose of Kratom don’t expect to feel “good” while in withdrawal, it only takes the edge off and helps you sleep and at first only 10 to 20 minutes after the dose, as time goes on meaning days… expect to be able to sleep longer, and once you can sleep for a few hours, start reducing the Kratom dose so you dont get hooked on Kratom itself which is very unlikely from my experience.
There is no free lunch people, Kratom isn’t going to magically make update withdrawal completely go away. Don’t fool yourself, Suboxone and methadone or near me postponing withdrawal because of their half life.
If my post helps one single person then I’m happy. I wish I knew about Kratom years ago.
Buy it by the kilo…you’re likely gonna need an oz at a time for the next bit of time, at least.
Hey! I was an IV H user for 5 years. No Matt what you do, detoxing is scary and sucks but being clean is the best thing in the world. Kratom will definitely take the edge off and sleep will come sooner. I’d go a couple weeks without sleep. My husband and I prefer Maeng Da, loose powder. Since you are a heavy user, you will likely need a stronger dose of Kratom to address withdrawal symptoms. Don’t make the mistake of overdoing it, expecting a magical opiate feeling cause it doesn’t work like that post heroin use. You’ll just feel like shit. Start with a teaspoon and a half. I mix it in oj. Give it an hour and take more if needed. Every humans dosage will vary so a little trial and error period will exist until you find your personal dose. My love and good vibes to you and your journey of getting clean. It’s the hardest thing I put myself through and it took years of trying to actually stay clean. Feel free to email me if you have questions or need support. 💚
Please someone help me I am trying to figure out how to start this… I’m a Fentanyl user I want to be completely sober again. I was told how great Kratom is and was given some by a friend to try. So I have white warrior, green push, rmd and white malanga names might be off because his handwriting is hard to read. Also this is all in powder form. I need to know when it’s safe to start the Kratom and how much I should be taking. I am 31 4”11 and 160 pounds.. Please help me get started guys… I would be greatly appreciated for feedback…
Roberta—email this guy for some advice: [email protected]
I need help figuring this out! I have been using fentanyl for about a year now.. I am 31 and want to be sober! I am ready. Someone told me about Kratom and gave me different types to try to roll me. I don’t know how to start and how much to use and how it works I have powder. (White warrior, red md, white malda and green push) someone please give me advice.. also some names might not be correct because he has bad handwriting
Maeng da**
I’m with you. Have you gotten any good advice. I’m ready to start and get off the fentanyl but not sure which strain or how much to take and also if I can take it within hours of my last opioid dose. So scared of the withdrawals I’ve experienced before. Any help would be awesome.
Congratulations on making the choice to try and get off fentanyl. I am by no means a doctor, but personally the red strains of kratom (Bali, Thai etc) seem to have the most pain relieving and sedative effects. The white hits me more like caffeine and the green is about in the middle. I used the red Thai to combat my alcohol withdrawal and it squashed cravings and helped with my anxiety/night sweats. I don’t have any experience with opiate withdrawal. I got my Kratom from KratomSpot and had it 2 days after ordering. Hope any of this helps. Good luck!
Do kratom I’ve got off Suboxone last year with it take at least a tablespoon of it jus becareful to not over do it, It got me off Suboxone and don’t have craving ethier, it will definitely help with withdrawls.
Everyone seems to respond to these comments and very recently and I need help. I was on day 8 of Subutex withdrawal and unfortunately it was so bad that I took maybe 1 milligram of Subutex. Now what do I do? Are my withdrawals going to start all over again?! Can I taper from 1 mg to nothing in a short period of time now?! I just want to be over this and be a normal human being. Someone please help me!
I was a fentanyl user for years and I tapered down off subs in 10 days. I was sick for a few days after but nothing I couldn’t handle. Cold turkey is hard. U shouldn’t have withdrawal start all over. I’ll be praying for you.
Start breaking your subs into halves and then quarters. That’s how I did it. Then I started using kratum and didn’t have any serious withdrawals at all.
Its gonna come back and could last as long as a month.. I taoered down to an 8th of a strip a day and still withdrawal is horrible…using kratom now to help with it but its still bad at first
I don’t care what anybody says if you’re coming off Suboxone I don’t care how little of a piece you’re going with draw like hell. I don’t care if you got down to a 16th of a peace you’re still going to withdraw like hell
Your 100% correct! I’ve been on suboxone for years and I’m down to an eighth of a piece. So I did dope (fentanyl) for 2 moths straight no suboxone in the 2 months. The last 2 week’s I did suboxone down to the eighth of a piece. Its going on my 3rd day with absolutely nothing and I’m still sick. 1st day wasn’t bad but 2nd and now 3rd day and I’m aching in my bones cold hot sweating. Its not as bad as cold turkey off dope definitely but it still sucks! I’m thinking of purchasing some kratom cause who the hell knows how long this withdrawal can last?!? A month?? 2 months?? I can’t stay sick that long! Yo would think being on such a low dose it would be easier.
And I quit for two years and I still crave it every day and thought about it every day. Best not to even just start Suboxone or Subutex. They take way longer than any other opiate to withdraw from. Oh and let’s not forget methadone,
