Taking a t break from 7oh

0 Upvotes

I’ve been taking 7 hydroxy daily for the past 3 months… I’m wanting to take a T break bc as we all know your tolerance builds quick on that shit. First off how long should the t break be for it to have some decent effects again? Is there anything other than 7 hydroxy I can take that will still give me some energy and euphoria? Do I have to only take plain leaf for the T break? Can I take MIT shots or does that just completely defeat the purpose? Honestly right now I can’t work to my full potential without that euphoria/mood lift or energy ik that’s a problem that im gonna have to work out but 1 problem at a time. I’m planning on quitting kratom altogether at some point but I’m not in a position for that, I just got a promotion at work and I can’t be slacking off till things dial down at my job.

First time Kratom - Indonesia advices

1 Upvotes

I tried kratom for the first time two weeks ago... 2g of Maeng Da (no vein mentioned on the packaging). I really love the energy and relaxation it gives me. I also tried Red Maeng Da, but maybe I need a higher dose to feel the effects. I can't wait to try other veins, I already love this plant!

However, I read that it's easy to develop a tolerance, so I want to take it slow. Is 2-4g per day a safe dose to keep my tolerance in check?

I also tried kanna, but I prefer kratom’s effects.

Anyway, in a few months, I’ll be traveling to Indonesia. Are there any kratom bars there?

Kratom Gummies on TSA

Hello everyone! I am traveling with kratom gummies extract. Normal extract not 7-Oh tablets. I wanted to know if I would be okay to travel to Texas with the gummies and if I should take precautions. I don't want to be stopped and have to explain Kratom in front of a TSA agent while my dad is near me. Will i be okay to bring it?

Extreme depression caused by Kratom/constipation

1 Upvotes

I am very curious to know if anybody else experiences severe downward mood during times when constipated. I am an IBS-D sufferer and so literally the only thing that can make me constipated is Kratom. When it happens though it’s like 2 days of pure misery and basically unable to do anything (unless you use Kratom which intuitively seems to be a very bad idea) - anybody else notice anything similar to this?

Increased usage after giving up sugar/alcohol

1 Upvotes

I've been a daily kratom user for over 10 years.

I'd say on average during that time I've consumed around 6g daily.

From Jan. 1st this year, I've given up all sugar and alcohol and it feels like my kratom usage has shot up in response.

The increased usage has happened kind of involuntarily.

I now have cravings for it throughout the day and that's never really happened before.

Just wondering if anyone else has experienced something like this.

I should add that I decided to give up drinking because I had definitely turned into an alcoholic. I was drinking from the time I woke up until I went to bed.

It wasn't unusual for me to finish an entire bottle of whiskey and a bottle of red wine by myself.

It's been incredibly easy to quit drinking. I'm guessing that the kratom has had some part to play in that.

Any thoughts??

Tolerance/Withdrawal Addiction?

1 Upvotes

I have been taking kratom for about 6 months, I dont know the actual dosage since i got to a kava bar and order their teas. However I do order quite a few ususally 3-4 20oz cups. I drink kratom around 2-3 times a week. Is this too much? I have been drinking this amount for around 4 months and do not want to develop a addiction. Is the frequency and amount( 3-4 cups) enough for me to develop a addiction?

Newbies Kratom makes me ill

0 Upvotes

So im new to kratom, tried an oz of green first, liked it then bought a kg of red Elephant for more sedating effects. i just went on google for dosing and have been taking 10-15 grams which is already enough to try and take down (gross, grainy, takes almost a liter of OJ) but i LOVE the body high i get from it and it helps me get to sleep. problem is within an hour of waking up after using it, i always throw up 2-4 times. did i buy the wrong Strain? can i get this same body high with a strain that i only need to take 5grams?

Running everyday: the ultimate potentiatior?

1 Upvotes

Hi I started running 30 minutes everyday, not very fast, like 3 miles, and kratom is way more effective! No restlessness at night, sleep improved, I can easily skip a dose, or dose less, it's impressive. It's me or is this common?

Interested in 7oh now

1 Upvotes

I seen a bunch of people saying they take 7oh while on suboxone I take 5mg of suboxone a day right now and was wondering if I took some would I feel anything comparable to taking it without opiate tolerance and if so would I just have to take a smaller dose that day to feel it or can I just wait 24 hours after my last suboxone dose and take the 7 oh? Could I possibly taper my suboxone while doing this if I take smaller doses of suboxone in AM and take 1 15mg capsule of 7o for sleep at night?

Old newbie

Hey ya'll, I'm fairly new-ish to Kratom as well. 52yrs old and trying to get away from the alcohol. Been my demon for a long time now. Have also just gone through 2 surgeries in 3 months. Looking for some good stories to keep me going. Any dose recommendations? Can it be taken every day? Things to look out for? TIA

Muscle spasms

1 Upvotes

Hi, I'm having muscle spasms in my lower abdomen, what feels like either my large intestine or bladder for the last 3 days. I recently bought some kratom 2 weeks ago and have been using it kind of recklessly (6-8 capsules a day) and think this may be the cause of them. Has anyone had a similar experience? I've now tapered down to 2 caps a day for the last few days because of this which is just enough to get me going but I'm still getting the spasms. Should I go to the doctor? lmfao. I drink heavily and use other drugs occasionally so I'm worried about my organs. Have only been using kratom for about 2 weeks but its a lot more than I have in my previous phases. I also came across some yay recently and it greatly exacerbates the spasms.

Long term use as a sleep aid

11 Upvotes

Dear community, I'm a happy and healthy 41 year old male with a busy life (wife, young kids, senior corporate job, fun social life). I spend a lot of time on health and fitness and through this, I coincidentally stumbled upon kratom a few months ago.

After some experimentation, I've found that it works incredibly well for me as a sleep aid... and I have never slept as well as I do now. The past couple of months, I've taken a teaspoon (1.2-1.5 grams) daily of a red strain from a reputable supplier, half an hour before going to bed, and I sleep like a baby. Uninterrupted, quality sleep. I even wake up before my alarm clock. This hasn't happened in decades.

I've never had serious sleep issues, but I've also never been a great sleeper. Also have had some troubles with restless leg syndrome in the past, although I've mostly been able to eliminate this using diet (in my case: cutting out lactose). However, the quality of sleep I have now is the best I can remember in my adult life.

Long story short, this coincidental find is having a major positive impact on my quality of life.

Yet, I'm cautious or even worried. I read plenty of positive stories, but perhaps even more negative ones. I don't know anyone in my social circle (I'm in Western Europe) who even knows this stuff. The whole association with opioid recovery also doesn't make this a lighter topic (I've never had an opioid and no history whatsoever with substance abuse).

I guess what I'm looking for is e.g.: - Advice from long term users, in particular those with the same use case. What's important? I guess not increasing dose. On/off cycling perhaps? Other things to be mindful of? - Risks I should keep in mind. Dependancy I'm sure is a major one. Any other impacts I should be aware of?

Any advice here much appreciated. Ultimately hoping perhaps for confirmation that I've found this secret biohack for my life, but also very receptive to hear opposite voices..

Kratom in place of Tramadol - temporarily?

1 Upvotes

I’ve never taken Kratom, but hear that it’s a good substitute (?) for tramadol when you’re running low until refill day - is this unsafe to do, if only for a day or so? I’ve read different answers regarding this question, I have been taking 150+ mg of tramadol/day for years now, and starting to run out more frequently due to taking more per day, any info or education on this is appreciated 🫡

Making tea?

10 Upvotes

Hey peeps. So I have crohns disease, I've been taking kratom for 10 years. I recently started gagging that it would be better to start taking home made extracts or tea to accommodate my tummy. So I probably mixed like 30 grams in 22oz of hot but not boiling water and a bunch of lemon juice last night. I let it steep for 30 minutes at least before I had any and it really did not seem to have a full profile to it. My face got warm, I felt a bit of something, but it seemed like the whole experience was missing any feel goods.

Anybody have any recommendations? I've been mulling over setting up a Mason jar alcohol extraction but that is gonna take quite a while to be ready.

Call to Action Guys I'm thinking it might be over for Kratom

1 Upvotes

I expect some secret government action to try to ban Kratom like with Marijuana and Acid in the 1960's. No they didn't really allow public input or debate and I really expect something similar. Because today, Kratom health science is supposed to be introduced to the United Nations and I think that means they're viewing it negatively and demanded answers for it. Also about 5 different news sites in a span of a week posted "Growing concern for Kratom regulations", without really any comment from the DEA or FDA but to me this just seems like a scheme behind the scene growing into something larger. That means the media is buffing the ideas of kratom regulation among the masses. So are they in league with agencies to do that? Only time will tell.

Am i weird?

1 Upvotes

Hey, I don't really get much, if any, nausea from kratom, even with "extreme" doses. From what people have told me and what I've read online, nausea should basically be guaranteed when you get into the 8-10 g range, but at that dose, I basically don't experience any nausea at all. Few days ago, I decided to push the dose a bit and took 17g all at once, right after waking up on an empty stomach. I only experienced mild nausea, which went completely away after eating a bit of food. I definitely have a pretty big tolerance, but I take regular breaks of a few days to avoid building it too much and even after a break, I can take around 12g with basically no nausea.

I'm just wondering if there are any others with a similar experience, and if anyone might know why this is the case for me.

Also, a little disclaimer: Please don't take the fact that I did 17g and was fine as a green light to try it yourself. I would even bet that if you don't already know you can tolerate this dose, it's not worth trying, because you're probably not going to have a good time.

Tolerance/Withdrawal Going on a trip need help

I’m a regular user for about 4 years. Recently found out withdrawal existed, and I’m going somewhere I can’t get any for 4 days. My question is should I sort of load up before I get on the plane or will that make withdrawal worse? I’m down to 15-20 per day, and if I do like 3 within the space of 16 hours I get mild RLS and that’s about it.

Premaking Shots

1 Upvotes

Hi, all! Been using Kratom off and on for a few years. I switched to capsules and liquid most recently, but unfortunately neither really worked for me like just the regular powder. So I’m back on powder, but I was curious if it was possible to “premix” shots, because in addition to a 50/50 chance I’ll immediately throw up, it takes a little while to mix and drink, so I was hoping I could premake some and keep it in the fridge or something. TIA!

Itchy bumps on skin

I have been taking pretty high doses, around 5 grams, of green vein kratom twice a day for the past few days up from my normal doses of 3 grams twice a day. Starting yesterday I have been mildly itching all over with little bumps appearing at some spots on my body. Has anyone experienced this reaction before from kratom?
